Television hospital drama Healing Hands, is at the peak of it,s popularity, and the daily dose of back-biting, bitching and nervous breakdowns, sometimes even makes it in front of the cameras.

Keeping the show high in the ratings is taking its toll on all involved: actors who feel under-valued compared to the adoration they receive from the public, a writer who struggles to make his voice heard and a director who tries to pull it all together and just make it to the end of the day. Against a backdrop of lies, love and intrigue something is going to give, it,s just a matter of who and when.

The play examines the deconstruction of the infatuation with celebrity and the cult of celebrity requires sacrifices. Les Dennis stars as a writer of a smash hit TV hospital soap opera. Mike McShane is the director and Jeremy Edwards is the star of the show. The script was weak and unfunny. Les Dennis was OK in a role that suited his talents. Due to his improvisational skills, Mike McShane delivered the best performance. The mainstream comedy play is a bit of a mess but the performances are OK
