About Nursing Lives

Vamos Theatre present

Nursing Lives

Wednesday 1- Friday 3 December 7.30pm

Vamos Theatre brings together a number of ex-Trestle Theatre members to create Nursing Lives, a full-mask theatre production alive with visual inventiveness, evocative music and song, physical theatre and 1940s dance sequences. Originating from the true stories of nurses at the former Worcester Royal Infirmary, at its heart, Nursing Lives is a human story that celebrates nurses at work and play during the years of World War II.

In 1939 Florence is a young trainee nurse thrown directly into the harsh realities of work on the ward. She encounters the wrath of Sister Martin; endures and enjoys the pranks of fellow nurses, falls in love with her soldier sweetheart, Johnny; and confronts the heart wrenching inequalities in the use of the new super drug penicillin... will her dream of saving lives come true?

Nursing Lives is funny, touching, at times harrowing, but always uplifting and unforgettable, and is designed to appeal to audiences from 8 to 108.

"the most hilarious night out, with a gag a minute.  It is a must see for all nurses and doctors"
SANDIE MANN, LOCAL NURSES LEAGUE, LINCOLN

"absolutely delightful.  A big smile of a show"
CHRIS ELDON LEE, RADIO 4 PRODUCER
