Presented by Bear Hands Co and State Theatre Centre of WA as part of State of Play 2021 - FRINGE WORLD Festival 2021

1982, an immigrant nurse tries to get through the day without losing her morality. Or her perm.

Meet Flo, a newly qualified nurse from the North of England. Her world quite literally feels upside down when she moves to Perth on a whim. 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 the best medicine.
