TWO popular small touring theatre companies have got together to produce a new comedy, General Medical Emergency Ward 10, which continues at Forest Arts in New Milton on 14th March, Teignmouth Pavilions on 15th April and Tacchi Morris Arts Centre at Taunton on 21st April.
Award‑winning Dyad Productions and Company Gavin Robertson have reimagined the worlds of Holby City, Casualty, ER, Grey’s Anatomy, Doctors and many more in this fast‑paced comic homage to every doctors‑and‑nurses drama you can think of.
It’s Dr Ann Fleming’s first day at St David’s Hospital, where her unfortunately named mentor Dr Death, is determined to show her who’s boss. As the medical emergencies begin to overload the hapless staff, Dr Fleming has to juggle a complicated budding love affair, with a kidney and a nosey hospital boss. Not literally.
Expect clichés, calamities and classic medical‑soap tropes delivered with theatrical flair and razor‑sharp timing. Celebrating the drama, intrigue and emotional rollercoasters of every on‑screen hospital you’ve ever seen, this is one appointment you won’t want to miss.
