In Her Hand

In Her Hand draws on real journals and letters from women serving with the Scottish Women’s Hospitals in the First World War. This defiant, darkly witty play follows an unlikely friendship forged through service on the Balkan front. Through the pages of Francis’s journal, an unlikely friendship sparks amid chaos. Thrown together, two very different women confront catastrophic injuries, scarce supplies and constant danger. Armed with quick thinking, gallows humour and fierce determination, they forge a bond strong enough to survive the harshest conditions. Go Home and Sit Still? Aye Right! Ticket includes Surgeons’ Hall Museum entry.
