Nursing Lives
A heart-warming wartime tale of
bravery and love from the UK’s
leading full mask theatre company.
The story... When Flo, a feisty seventysomething, 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?
A love story set in the early 1980s of Thatcher’s
Britain, Nursing Lives takes us back to the hardworking, heart-breaking, swing-dancing world of
the UK’s wartime hospitals.
Like all Vamos Theatre shows, Nursing Lives
is wordless, telling its story through physical
communication, a strong visual design and an
original soundtrack. This is a humorous and
poignant production from one of the best of the
UK’s full mask theatre companies
Nursing Lives is supported by Arts Council England, Sanctuary Care
and Worcestershire County Council.

Luke Wright
Stay-at-Home Dandy
Decadent booze hound, Luke Wright would
love to spend his life flouncing around looking
fabulous, but back in rural Suffolk he’s got the
school run to do.
Wright tells captivating stories in visceral verse
from neglected corners of Britain. Spend halfterm with lonely science teacher Mr Hooper; and
cry ‘NOT IN MY NAME’ with the irate villagers of
Much Harpingon.
By turns funny, poignant and political, this
stay-at-home dandy celebrates ordinary people
having extraordinary moments, then sticks a
‘champagne-rinsed rococo boot’ into the swines
who run things.
Plus support from Jemima Foxtrot

Carly Smallman
Made In Penge
Penge native and star of ITV2 Carly Smallman
brings you her Edinburgh Festival smash-hit
show full of funny songs and stories about
romance, online abuse and how to love yourself
(even if you, too, are a ‘fat walrus’.)
She had it all – a new home, a gorgeous
boyfriend, and a regular job on Viral Tap
(ITV). But after the first show aired she found
herself on the receiving end of some very nasty
comments about the way she looks – ‘@itv get
Miss Piggy aka @carlysmallman off the air’
Carly’s telly credits include The Rob Brydon Show
(BBC), Secret Interview (Channel 5) and various
E4 and BBC3 appearances.

Life/Style
Life/Style is about taking whatever life throws
at you but still trying to look your best. Plus! Are
we too obsessed with what other people think?
Is there such a thing as a gay lifestyle? And is
dressing up in period clothing ever an acceptable
way of dealing with anxiety?
No one has Tom Allen’s skewed view of the
world, his unique storytelling ability or his talent
for being both young and old, insider and
outsider, confident and fearful.
In 2005 he won both So You Think You’re Funny
and the BBC New Comedy Awards. In 2010,
Attitude Magazine called him a gay role model.

Kevin Precious
Somewhere between having a falling out
with a New Age-y type in Brighton and
receiving a Facebook friend request from a
former associate who’s doing very well – and
is keen to show it – he offers up a version of
an old metaphysical idea that may provide
an alternative to the hippy-dippy excesses of
one and the material bent of the other. Sound
complicated? Don’t worry, it isn’t.
