Welcome to Derby Orb Hospital, pulsating with life, death, and other funny turns. There's Parveen, the hand surgeon unable to return to work since her husband died here less than a year ago and Lauren, seventeen, pregnant and terrified. There's the hospital chaplain, sometimes overwhelmed by all the prayers and the volunteer with the longest service record - and the biggest secret. There's teenage Sam waiting for a heart transplant and Unity, an old lady in a coma, who never actually meet but somehow manage to find each other... Pulse is a new play commissioned by Derby Theatre from local writer Sally Siner about, and for, a community to which we all belong. The initial idea for the production came out of a workshop with local people and it's grown into an amazing opportunity for members of the public to take part in all aspects of creating a full-scale production, from working behind the scenes to performing.
