Then come along and see this sparkling Carlton Rehearsed Reading "Idiocracy" - you'll then see that someone else is suffering more!
In this play, Toby and Nicky are definitely bearing the brunt of an overly bureaucratic, privatised-in-all-but-name health and welfare system. But when an experimental drug provided by the Army Medical Corps turns Nicky's shell-shocked war veteran brother into a murderous automaton, all sorts of strange things start to happen.
FRIDAY 18th JULY at 7:45 pm - Main Hall, Wimbledon Community Centre, 28 St George's Street, SW19 - entrance programmes £5.
Written by fellow member Neil Kelly and directed by Kathie Arundell - don't miss it!
