Do Not Attempt This Conversation

Exhausted at the end of a late shift, Nneka, a junior doctor, is suddenly forced to navigate a Do Not Attempt Resuscitation (DNAR) conversation with a relative she has never met – about a patient she does not know – under immense time pressure. Set entirely within this single encounter, the play explores the emotional dissonance, absurdity and humour of end-of-life decision-making in a system stretched to its breaking point.
