DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS CONVERSATION
Written and Directed by Mo Maka Shakespeare
Nneka is a young resident doctor finishing the late shift. Just as she is about to leave, she is suddenly asked to lead a Do Not Attempt Resuscitation (DNAR) conversation with the relative of a patient she has never met, about a patient she does not know, and with almost no time to prepare. Set entirely within this single encounter, Do Not Attempt This Conversation exposes the emotional dissonance, and occasional absurdity of end-of-life decision-making inside a healthcare system stretched to its limits. This play invites audiences to sit inside one such moment—witnessing the collision of grief, bureaucracy, compassion, and detachment—and asks what it really means to remain humane within an inhumane system.

OUR HISTORY
The Bread & Roses is an award-winning free house right in the heart of Clapham. Owned by The Battersea and Wandsworth Trade Union Council (BWTUC) and run by the Workers Beer Company, part of BWTUC Trading, it prides itself as a pub with a social consciousness.
The Bread & Roses is named in recognition of the struggle of workers around the globe for a better quality of life. The name is taken from a song written during a strike of women textile workers in Lawrence Massachusetts, USA in 1912. 27.000 women went out onto the streets and marched for eleven weeks to improve their working conditions. Their banners called for bread and roses. A poet among them, James Oppenheim, wrote the lyrics to what became the trademark song for women trade unionists around the world. It is still sung by delegates to conclude the ICTU Women's Conference.
