The Nurses Station

The Nurses Station

Written by Ruth Lyon & Ali Pritchard

Directed by Ali Pritchard

A new folk gig theatre show created by an award-winning creative team, crafted from real-life stories of seasoned and newly trained nurses.

A nurses' station never sleeps. One person hands over the last ten hours of their life, their shift, to the next, continuing a centuries-old chain of life, death, family, friendship, change, and memory. Like a timeless folk song passed through generations, this show captures the vibrant hive of the nurses' station—embracing love, laughter, and every challenge in between. Crafted from real-life stories of seasoned and newly trained nurses, it’s a celebration of their enduring spirit and dedication, told through dark humour and amazing music.
