Event description
The award-winning Dyad Productions and Company Gavin Robertson are joining forces!
It’s a pedigree of the first degree! Between them, Dyad’s recent productions – Austen’s Women: LADY SUSAN, A Christmas Carol, A Room of One’s Own, That Knave, Raleigh – and Gavin Robertson, with Done to Death by Jove!, The Ghost of a Smile and BOND – An Unauthorised Parody have toured both the UK and internationally, with resounding success over the last few years. Labouring away in secret, looking for the perfect co-production has taken time, but finally the answer has arrived!
Every hospital, medical-based, Doctors-and-Nurses cliche-ridden drama onstage in a comedy mash-up spoof!
It’ll have you in stitches!
It’s Dr Ann Fleming’s first day at St David’s, where her unfortunately-named mentor Dr Death, is determined to show her who’s boss. As medical emergencies overload the hapless staff, Dr Fleming has to juggle a complicated budding love affair, with a kidney, and a nosey Hospital boss. Not literally.
Yes – ‘Holby City’, ‘Casualty’, ‘E.R’ and ‘Doctors’ – not to mention movies galore, are re-imagined and invigorated by Rebecca Vaughan, Andrew Margerison and Gavin Robertson in a pacy, cliché-ridden comic homage to the intrigues and dramas of every hospital plotline on the big and small screen!
To be taken once a day.
Created in collaboration with the Old Town Hall, Hemel Hempstead.
