REVIEW: Beyond Caring, NT Temporary Theatre ✭✭✭

There is something undeniably fascinating about watching strangers find common ground, about seeing a team form in adverse circumstances, especially where, as here, the pains and troubles which silently vex them remain largely unventilated. The narrative twists might not be very surprising, but the unsparing truth in the playing and the sadly familiar straightened circumstances of these characters, together with the plain hideousness of their employment, combine to make this unsettling, uncomfortable viewing.
