News: Theatre Royal Plymouth announce new production NHS the Musical

Theatre Royal Plymouth have announced a brand new production of NHS the Musical, to celebrate the 73rd birthday of the institution.

Written by Nick Stimson and Jimmy Jewell, with direction by Stephen Fletcher, the musical is set to run at the venue from 17 to 25 September at the Lyric. Discounted tickets are available for NHS staff.

Informed by first-hand accounts from NHS staff, this new musical gets under its skin and celebrates the people who make its heart beat.

Sharper than a scalpel, this fast-paced comedy show takes you from the surgical theatre to musical theatre, pumping with songs, satire, sass – and gas and air. But beware! This beloved institution may be the perfect tonic, but it can also be the bitterest pill. The UK’s largest employer and government’s biggest spender has its own ailments, that just never seem to be cured.

With a combined company of 7 cast and 7 band members live on stage, NHS the Musical will be a rousing celebration of the people who have cared for us and our families for more than 70 years.
