    Review: This Might Not Be It – A hopeful glimpse into the NHS’s mental health care system from behind the Perspex partition, according to PATRICK MARMION

    This Might Not Be It (Bush Theatre, London)

    Verdict: Could be it

    Rating:

    Thanks to this week’s depressing news of a deepening crisis in children’s mental health care provision, Sophia Chetin-Leuner’s new play, This Might Not Be It, is regrettably timely.

    It is, however, also a sweetly hopeful, broom cupboard-sized drama set on the other side of the Perspex partition in a children and adolescent outpatient department.

    The action hinges on Angela and Jay, a double act of an old-lag receptionist and a young idealist.

    Angela runs her own bespoke filing system under the mantra of ‘refer, refer, refer’.

    Jay is a trainee therapist who is determined to digitise the folders scattered all over the office floor.

    Both answer to unseen Gary — the NHS’s answer to Samuel Beckett’s Godot, handing down rulings from the 4th Floor.

    Chetin-Leuner exhibits a talent for tautology with lines like Jay’s ‘you don’t know stuff until you know stuff’.

    But she also suggests how the dysfunctional NHS does somehow still manage to function — and how staff can connect with patients despite crushing bureaucracy and the temptation to despair.

    This could be more fully explored in a longer play but, like the writing, Ed Madden’s production is a hyper-realist distillation of a dog-eared hospital office.

    There are neat turns from Debra Baker’s officious yet warm-hearted Angela, Denzel Baidoo’s naive and bashful Jay, plus Dolly Webb as an all too familiar, vulnerable teenage girl.
