A soldier with a questionable past abandons his post during the last battle of a mid nineteenth century war. Running away in fear, he is blown back into his trench by a massive explosion and is buried in debris. Pulled from the trench and taken to a field hospital in a barn, he falls into a terminal coma and dies alone on the floor.
Axis Theatre Company's popular episodic play Hospital examines the interior life of a man in a terminal coma. Entering the coma in a different way every year, the audience travels with him as he lives out his last few days roaming the vast, dark interiors of his own brain. Although Hospital is a serial play, each evening can be viewed separately as a self-contained, short play.

“...a clinical Alice in Wonderland, just as enjoyable and fascinating as it is convoluted...Hospital offers an incredibly accessible and artistically rich experience that will keep the audience coming back for more.”
