Patient Soldier
Written by Katherine White and Barra Fitzgibbon
The widely critically acclaimed dark comedic play PATIENT:SOLDIER returns to Bloomsbury after it's sell out runs in both London's West End and Ireland
A darkly funny and heartfelt one person play comes back to Bloomsbury Festival. Black Death, Spanish Flu, Cholera, the Grim Reaper's greatest hits. Now, it's 2020 and there's a new plague in town. Comical , raw and emotional, set in an overwhelmed hospital that's part battlefield, part comedy club, part confessional. A warts and all portrait of courage and compassion. Hilarious and heartbreaking in equal measure, PATIENT:SOLDIER exposes the chaos and absurd humanity of those fighting to hold the line and reminds us that even in the darkest moments, laughter and love endure. With Laurence Olivier nominated Director, Daniel Clarkson, West End award winning Light Designer Adam Foley and award winning actor Katherine White, this critically acclaimed production is not to be missed. "Bloomsbury Festival supported 'PATIENT:SOLDIER' in it's maiden performance and is the reason why it became the success story it is today. To bring it back on the Festival's 20th anniversary, is a joy." (Barra Fitzgibbon, Co-Writer and Producer)
