Recovery has become one of the main drivers of contemporary mental health services. In this article, the authors describe how they used the play ‘St. Nicholas’ to inform service users, professionals and the general public about recovery. Unusually, recovery has been an approach that has been embraced by service users, mental health professionals, policy makers and successive governments. This article starts by looking at the recovery group in question, and the play that was performed on five occasions in June 2009. After each performance, the audience was asked to complete a short questionnaire as a form of feedback. In conclusion, the authors suggest that performing arts are an accessible to getting the recovery message across, to all involved.
