The Man I Cure
FAT CONTENT
A pig-headed soldier crashes through the window of an abandoned sanatorium. After an altercation with Death he now comes face to face with two maniacal nurses. Treatment begins with institutional macaroni, but their guilty fantasies turn sour when they discover his magical secret...for which there is no cure. 'Thought provoking and disturbing…great entertainment' Buxton Fringe Review.
