Do I Look Like I Care?
1982, an immigrant nurse tries to get through the day without losing her
morality. Or her perm.
The world of nursing is tough. Overworked, underpaid and facing life and death every day. But where would we be without them?
Do I Look Like I Care? Is a medical comedy with a feminist edge about the heart and hilarity of the everyday woman.
Think Fleabag meets Call the Midwife, with big hair.
Developed through the Victorian College of the Arts: Master in Writing for Performance, Do I Look Like I Care? Is the debut play from returning Perth performer and playwright-to-watch Daisy Coyle. Based on her Mum's 40 year nursing career, this is a love letter to those in the business of care. Because laughter is indeed the best medicine.
