In 2009, Brisbane theatre-goers fell in love with Prognosis: Death! - an entirely off-the-cuff medical-comedy-sci-fi melodrama at the Brisbane Arts Theatre. Now the staff of St Love Hospital are back in 
Prognosis: Death! Pandemic, playing at the BAT from 
21-30 January 2010.

A cross between Grey’s Anatomy and The X-Files - with a dose of 1950s schlock horror and a good measure of fake blood - Prognosis: Death! Pandemic will again see the audience decide which mysterious calamities and supernatural villains threaten the town’s existence.

Season Two saw St Love’s intrepid doctors and nurses battle Greek Sirens, ancient Aztec curses, drag queen aliens, voodoo puppets, phantoms and their own tumultuous love lives. What twists of fate will Season Three hold?

Only the audience knows!

"Welcome to St Love Hospital. You’ll lose your heart, your mind... and possibly your kidneys."

Brisbane Arts Theatre, 210 Petrie Terrace

Thurs, Fri & Sat nights from 21 - 30 January

Tickets $15/$10

SEASON PASS! See all six shows for just $50!

She has penned a number of fine stories - but her creative side is now as out of tune as a broken pianoforte.

There’s only one thing a Regency lady can do - call on her social circle to help.

You are invited to a soiree with one of Britain’s great ladies of letters - in which you will be called upon to help Miss Austen create a heroine, her family and friends, her enemies, and the scandals that threaten her reputation. Most of all, you will help shape the one man that will perplex and vex her, but who may end having the most impact of all.

Miss Austen promises it will be the most fun you will ever have in the 19th century.

Period.

When: 7:30pm, October 4th

The cast of Prognosis: Death! return in an encore season. Join Dr. Burton Mangold, Nurse Lottie Buble and a host of other characters as they battle demons, ghosts, monsters and their own emotions in this exciting Superdramanatural Comedy.

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!
