About The Show

Time & Place: A doctor’s common room in Saint Andrews Hospital, London, some time in the 1990s.

Summary: On the day of a prestigious international conference, a doctor is faced with his past indiscretions. What starts as one simple white lie sets the dominos falling and this stuffy London hospital into utter, hilarious chaos.
