Florence: the lesser known life and legacy of Florence Nightingale
  • The Beggar's Theatre
    Market Square
    Millom
    LA18 4HZ
Florence Nightingale was a campaigner and reformer whose pioneering use of statistics called for government accountability and equal access to healthcare for all.
This one-woman-performance of original song and storytelling shines a light on lesser known aspects of Florence Nightingale’s life and work, to question why Florence’s extraordinary and wide ranging achievements are so often overlooked. It celebrates Florence as a ground-breaking statistician, connecting Florence’s work in the 19th century with the issues we continue to face today.
