Nursing Lives

About the Event

A heart-warming wartime tale of bravery and love from the UKs leading full mask theatre company

When Flo, a feisty seventy-something, learns that the hospital she worked at during the Second World War is being demolished, she decides she needs to take one last look – and stop the bulldozers in their tracks. Her illicit visit becomes a personal celebration – of friendship, courage, adventure and romance. But it also reveals a hidden secret, one which Flo still holds close.

Nursing Lives is set in the hard-working, heart-breaking, swing-dancing world of Britain’s wartime hospitals, and the cassette-loving early 1980s of Thatcher’s Britain.

Like all Vamos Theatre shows, Nursing Lives is wordless, telling its story through physical communication, a strong visual design and an original soundtrack. This is a humorous and poignant production from one of the best of the UK’s full mask theatre companies
