| Description |
"Within the evocative confines of a disused but intact hospital, the audience are taken on a journey to an imagined world in which the wards and surrounds have been subtly transformed into a strange, unsettling, futuristic environment. Overseen by an entrepreneurial Doctor and accompanied by his Nurse 'guides', small audience groups watch, in rotation, a series of performances." |

| Further Information |
The three shows detail: A woman who carries a fully grown man in her womb, her virginity still intact. Her unborn son is declared the New Messiah; An extremely old man is kept alive against his will; the advances of Death thwarted by those of Science. A woman scientist has cloned herself over and over again. Her offspring tell us their strange and disquieting story of incest and betrayal.
