by Peter NicholsDirected by Keith ThompsonSaturday 6th – Saturday 13th February 1982 in the AuditoriumSub-titled “Nurse Norton’s Affair”, this play paints a portrait of British hospital life as, perhaps, it really is — earthy humour shot through with anxiety and genuine, though only cautiously admitted, concern for those trapped with strangers in an unfamiliar milieu. Laughter and tears. A vivid example of Peter Nichols’s power to put modern Britain on the stage. | Part of the Barn’s 1981/1982 season Presented by The Barn Theatre Club |
