The Play
We are looking to stage the comedy Searching For Doctor Branovic by David Tristram.
Cast size - 1w, 3m, 2 any gender (adult).
Emma Tyler mourns the sudden and unexpected death of her husband, Joe. But all is not as it seems and, deep in the bowels of a nearby hospital, something stirs. Enter Detective Inspector Monroe - a man who knows a thing or two about the unexpected. The grumpy detective soon finds himself right in the middle of a mystery that threatens to unhinge his sanity.
"One of David Tristram's funniest and most inventive scripts to date - a sure-fire hit with all those who love his witty, madcap comedies"
- Paul Taylor, Performing Rights Director, Samuel French
