Cut and Run

Mandurah Little Theatre’s upcoming production of ‘Cut and Run’ is an hilarious comedy, painting large the dangers in private health care. The play written by Peter Horsler, is set in a doctor’s surgery in an NHS Clinic, over a period of three months. Dr Glow, an altruistic and naïve young doctor, is perturbed to learn that his National Health Clinic has been hired out to Dr Boxclever, a private consultant. From Boxclever’s treatment of Mrs Grimley-Cloned, we soon realize that he is out to milk his patients of every penny they possess by prescribing unnecessary treatments and selling them useless medicines at outrageous prices. Dr Glow, thought by his lovesick nurse, Nurse Bountiful, to be incorruptible, is persuaded by Boxclever to act the part of an eminent specialist and so begins a slide into malpractice. Finally, he sinks to blackmailing Boxclever, having discovered that he is using an alias and is not a registered doctor, into a fifty-fifty share of his ill-gotten gains. . Performance dates: 14th , 15th , 20th, 21st, , 22nd July at 8 pm and 16th July at 2 pm (matinee).
