Vamos Theatre, the UK’s leading full mask theatre company, are bringing their national touring production of Nursing Lives to the South Holland Centre.
Nursing Lives is a love story set in early 80s Britain which harks back to the hard-working, heart-breaking, swing-dancing world of the UK’s wartime hospitals.
When Flo, a feisty seventy-something, learns that the hospital she trained at during the Second World War is being demolished, she decides to take one last look, and stop the bulldozers in their tracks.
Her illicit visit becomes a personal celebration of friendship, courage, adventure and romance. But is what Flo remembers really the truth, or is history ready to be re-written?
The show, performed with no spoken words, is a vibrant, humorous and poignant production suitable for everyone over the age of 12, and features characterful masks, period music, swing dance and vintage costumes.
