This March, the award‑winning Dyad Productions teams up with Company Gavin Robertson to bring their brilliantly funny new show, General Medical Emergency Ward 10, to three Dorset communities as part of the spring programme presented by local charity Artsreach.
“If you haven’t seen Dyad Productions’ work before, you simply must” -British Theatre Guide
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.
A fast‑paced comic homage to every Doctors‑and‑Nurses drama you can think of, General Medical Emergency Ward 10 gleefully re-imagines the worlds of Holby City, Casualty, E.R., Grey’s Anatomy, Doctors and many more. 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…
“Robertson performs with a subtle conviction that’s compelling to watch.” -The Guardian
