Centre Stage

It's 1939 and 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, a human story, celebrates nurses at work and play during World War II; full mask physical theatre alive with visual inventiveness, evocative music, and 1940s dance sequences. Funny, poignant, uplifting and unforgettable. "Nursing Lives is absolutely delightful. A big smile of a show...complete with singing pigs."
Chris Eldon Lee, Radio 4 Producer
