A theatrical, thoughtful, and surprisingly tender short that makes brilliant use of living plastic to remind us that despite bleak circumstances and unplanned sacrifice, there is hope we can feel whole again.

This is such a sweet story! I'd love to see more with these characters! This would be fun to play AND design!

A 21st century variation on the ‘Dolls’ Hospital’ in 1960s and 70s kids’ comics. Still suitable for children, this manages the considerable feat of being both a gentle and humorous piece, but with an out-of-sight truly sadistic villain and also dealing with the possibility of injury with light touch social comment. This would also work as a radio/podcast play or a cartoon. But on stage the director and actors, sound and lighting would have plenty of scope with a play on a child’s subject with unexpected depths and deft handling of difficult subjects.
