FRUITCAKE
Ten Commandments from the Psych Ward

Fruitcake covers the course of a night shift on an acute psychiatric ward, seen through the eyes of a
jaded nurse who hears the
voice of God. In this case, God happens to be a
kindly Jamaican woman – acclaimed dub poet Jean Binta Breeze.
A rollercoaster of comedy and observation, Rob based the show on his ten years as a registered psychiatric nurse in the UK
and Australia.
Fruitcake sold out across Canada and scooped up Best of Best at the 2009 Winnipeg Fringe. So far this summer, it has already picked up the Sold Out Award at the Orlando Fringe. It is now scheduled for the 2010 Montreal, London, Minnesota and Toronto Fringe Festivals. Click for details.
