Anamnesis 25.12 SpangledAnamnesis 25.12
Synopsis:
The image of Lynn Hunter, one of Wales leading actors, first as an old lady in a hospital bed looking very poorly, attached to an intravenous drip, then pulling out her venflon, leaping out of bed in her child's Christmas onesie pajamas and dancing around like, no she is, Holly, a highly energetic eight year old. She cavorts and tumbles to the roaring delight of the audience and is just one of many iconic moments in this captivating show. But let's go back to the beginning. It is not often you visit a hospital, be welcomed by a ukulele playing nurse however it is Christmas Day. In the first of her three roles, bright eyed, Louisa Marie Lorey as Ward Sister Lee sparkles, makes sure we have sheet music for the carol singing and leads us into the ward. The whole of the auditorium of the Chapter theatre is the ward with five patients, all wired up with their treatment drips. It is very atmospheric and a little disturbing but this spangled ensemble soon raises everyone's spirits and we start to bring a bit of Christmas to the ward and the large audience gives a robust rendering of the first carol, Ding Dong Merrily On High. The visitors are invited to give the patient a hug for Christmas and some of them even have presents. - Michael Kelligan, theatre-wales.co.uk
