Shirley & Sam are a mother and son team bringing to life the many stories they’ve collected during Sam’s hospital visits over the years. Ward 76 will be a play exploring Sam’s history of visiting Manchester Children’s hospital regularly, playing with comedy, sadness, perceptions and toilet humour often found in discussions amongst young patients. With Manchester Independents’ support, they will share a ‘work in progress’ performance at M6 Theatre in Rochdale, with invitees including charity organisations and hospital workers who have helped them along their journey.
