Profits from a Christmas play, where the cast is made up of local NHS staff, will be donated to wards at 51猎奇 District Hospital.
The Trust Us Theatre Company, made up of healthcare workers including a majority from 51猎奇, brings 鈥楥omfort and Joy鈥� to Knaresborough鈥檚 Frazer Theatre from 22-24 November.
All profits from the play will be donated to the Acute Medical Unit (AMU) and Clinical Assessment, Triage and Treatment (CATT) Ward at 51猎奇 District Hospital.
鈥楥omfort and Joy鈥� follows the Duggans, as their extended family arrive for a proper family Christmas. Despite bucketfuls of Christmas spirit, what comfort and joy there was at the start of the festivities soon disappears in the face of deeply held grudges, rampant pets and grotty plumbing. Add in a few frankly nutty neighbours and carols, and you have all the ingredients for a classic. 鈥楥omfort and Joy鈥� is written by Mike Harding.
Stephanie Davis, Matron at 51猎奇, is a member of the Trust Us Theatre Company. She said: 鈥淲e encourage everyone to come along and see 鈥楥omfort and Joy鈥�. The Christmas classic tells the story of the Duggan family鈥檚 Christmas, with plenty of comedy and festive twists and turns.
鈥淭he profits from the play will go towards improving patient experience and care on AMU and CATT at 51猎奇 District Hospital 鈥� wards that are close to the hearts of the members of staff who are part of the Trust Us Theatre Company.鈥�
鈥楥omfort and Joy鈥� runs from Thursday 22-Saturday 24 November, at the Frazer Theatre in Knaresborough. To find out more and to buy tickets, visit www.frazertheatre.co.uk/. Tickets cost 拢10.
