It Can Damage Your Health
Monday, May 31st, 2010Following last week’s read through the decision was made to produce It Can Damage Your Health by Eric Chappell for this year’s summer show. The play involves a comically mismatched trio of men sharing a small Men’s Surgical ward: the cynical and defensive Higgins, who seems to know more about medicine than the doctors, the young and nervous Gary whose inexperience with women is a subject of much discussion amongst his companions, and the weary hypochondriac Palmer, who prefers being in hospital to living his lonely bachelor life. The play is based on Eric Chappell’s hit TV series Only When I Laugh, and traces the fortunes of this disparate band as they form an uneasy alliance against the confusions and insecurities of hospital life. Described as warm-hearted, perceptive and hilarious, this is a study of the British male at his most vulnerable.
Auditions are set for next Sunday (6th June) at 7:30pm, please use the ‘Contact Us’ page to drop us an email if you are interested in auditioning or would like further information.
