Staged by Act Naturally Ltd, the story of wooing on a 1950s hospital ward runs until 23 November 2019.
Patricia, a ‘country girl’ from Bristol, has surpassed her family’s expectations to become a State Registered Nurse at King’s College Hospital. Gerald, her patient, is a graduate from Trinity College, Dublin, living in leafy South London, and is expected to take over the successful family business, importing watches. Patricia and Gerald would probably never have met, if it hadn’t been for bed seven. Opposite sides of a sharp class divide, united by a friendship born out of a life-threatening dilemma. Will they treat each other’s self-doubts and find a love that crosses convention?
Chloe Wigmore stars as nurse Patricia Voisey, with Jesse Rutherford as Gerald. Playwright Simon de Cintra also directs the production. His Bed Seven creative team includes choreographer Lily Howkins and composer Adam Gerber. Nicola Wright (Assistant Director) and Lizzie Mounter (Dramaturg) complete the creative team.
