The Royal at the Royal Court Theatre, Liverpool

The Royal

"One of the funniest things I've seen on stage in a long time" FOUR STARS Liverpool Echo

Reporters and celebrities are waiting outside the brand new Royal
Liverpool University Hospital on the day that it is set to open its doors. The wards are ready, the machines are plugged in and all of the patients have been moved across. Well, nearly all of them…

As the first wrecking ball is set to swing into the old building Ward 8X are the last ones to clear out. The only staff left are highly trained
medical professionals like top tea lady Teresa, Casualty obsessed nurse Flo and Maureen, a psychotic mortuary assistant who is rapidly running out of patients. All they need to do is get out before the Royal turns to rubble!

"Brilliant, barmy and totally bonkers!" FIVE STARS The Lowdown Magazine
