Devised and written by its three principal cast Getting On is a funny refreshing and improvised look at the staff 'getting on with it' in an overlooked corner of the health service: care for the elderly. It may be the least glamorous area of the hospital but in this comedy of characters the staff are doing the best they can in a place where difficult choices are the order of the day. It's the scene that awaits all of us - whether we like to admit it or not.
