About the show
Paging all fans of medical drama. This could be just what the doctor ordered.
Award-winning Dyad Productions and Company Gavin Robertson join forces for a fast-paced comedy that takes every hospital drama cliché you know and gives it a gloriously silly dose of medicine. 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. But as medical emergencies pile up and the staff struggle to keep the wards under control, Dr Fleming must also navigate a budding romance, a troublesome liver and one very nosey hospital boss.
Think Casualty, Holby City, ER and Doctors, with a healthy helping of big-screen medical melodrama thrown in for good measure. Rebecca Vaughan, Andrew Margerison and Gavin Robertson bring the familiar world of white coats, frantic corridors, impossible diagnoses, romantic entanglements and life-or-death cliffhangers together in one pacy, affectionate and wonderfully cliché-ridden comic spoof.
From the teams behind acclaimed productions including Austen’s Women: LADY SUSAN, A Christmas Carol, A Room of One’s Own, Done to Death by Jove!, The Ghost of a Smile and BOND – An Unauthorised Parody. It’ll have you in stitches. Created in collaboration with the Old Town Hall, Hemel Hempstead.
