"Hospitals are battlefields"
Enter the fringe world of medieval re-enactment and meet Peter - orderly during the week, ferocious warrior in the weekend. As he prepares for the weekend's big battle against the notorious Vikings a friend in need changes his life. Time flickers, empty hospital wards turn into long forgotten battlefields, everybody fights for their lives.
Inspired by the real life of an Auckland hospital orderly, who died in 2003, The Orderly takes you into the very heart of one of life's foot soldiers.
The play is written and performed by Michael Downey who takes on all parts; ranging from the gorgeous nurse Donna to a semi nude Viking berserker high on mushrooms and lust for blood.
"A small and surprising gem" Natasha Hay, Theatre reviewer for The Listener
"...The Orderly brilliantly succeeds in demonstrating how dreams of heroes serve to illuminate the banality of our everyday lives" Craccum
"Quality work, a story told on several levels, solo theatre as it should be." Capital Times
The Orderly will be performed at Artworks Community Theatre on Easter weekend: 8pm on Saturday the 11th of April, and 2pm on Sunday the 12th.
