Prognosis: Death!

written by Dan
Welcome to St Love Hospital. You’ll lose your heart.... your mind... and possibly your kidneys.

In a Brisbane first, the Arts Theatre will present a two-week season of ’off the cuff’ theatre. Developed and performed by Impro Mafia, Prognosis: Death! will be a remarkable experience for both audience and players alike.

Set in the fictional town of St Love, the action centres around the local hospital, home to a variety of familiar characters - the heroic doctor, the gruff hospital administrator, the nurse with a past, the creepy pathologist. Each night, something strange - something ’supernatural’ - will start affecting the good residents of St Love, and it will be up to the hospital’s finest to work out how to battle the infections, plagues and outbreaks that threaten the town’s existence.

What’s the horror? Well that’s for the audience to decide! Each night the audience will choose what strange misfortune should befall St Love. Will it be Zombies? Werewolves? Ghosts? The Black Death? Teenagers? It means every night a different story will unfold - come to one show, come to several, come to all - it’ll never be the same twice!

Cross ’Grey’s Anatomy’ and ’Scrubs’ with ’The X-Files’ and ’Supernatural’, and throw in a dash of 1950s schlock horror, and you’ll get an idea of what you can expect in Prognosis: Death!... plus blood.. lots of blood!
