It hadn’t been a good day for Doctor Edwin Spindrift. Professor and Doctor of Philology at a college in Moulmein, Burma. Edwin is now sitting bald headed in a London hospital room where he awaits a mysterious operation.
The Doctor Is Sick is an acrobatic decent into the world of booze cans and poets; masochists and thieves; daring escapes and folk etymology. This play has 43 characters: performed by a cast of 4 actors.
Adapted from the novel of the same name by linguistic genius Anthony Burgess (A Clockwork Orange, Nothing Like the Sun, the Enderby novels).
