Operating Theatre

Theatre Paradok presents ‘Operating Theatre’ by Elliana Craig.

The nightshift is dragging on at a nondescript hospital. Carine wants a doctor to tell her what’s wrong with her. Lottie wants Talia to start speaking to their mother again. Em wants to quit nursing and Marina wants a nose job. Or maybe she doesn’t. Kate and Tash mostly just want boyfriends. As the hours tick, the women in the hospital find their lives intermeshing, caught in a spiderweb of crossed wires and ludicrous coincidences. ‘Operating Theatre’ takes one look at the question of womanhood and rolls its eyes.

Content Warnings: Swearing, mentions of death, mentions of suicide, blood.

Buy tickets here for 9 August and 10 August. Peformances take place at Just The Tonic at The Caves, Just Up The Road, at 2:40 pm.
