Patient: Soldier
Bray, Co. Wicklow
26 May 2026
Black Death, Spanish Flu, Cholera, the Grim Reaper’s greatest hits. Now it’s 2020, and there’s a new plague in town. Dr Reaper takes the stage in this darkly funny, but always true story of an Irishman’s fight for life and love.

At its core, the belief that words, connection, and sheer will can tip the scales between survival and surrender. A love letter to the health service, this is a warts-and-all journey through an overwhelmed hospital at breaking point, part battlefield, part comedy club, part confessional.

Hilarious and heartbreaking, PATIENT:SOLDIER exposes the chaos, courage, and absurd humanity at the frontline of a system pushed to its limits.

The performance will be followed by a short Q&A.
