Doctor in the House is a riotously funny play about the misadventures of Simon Sparrow and his medical student mates at St. Swithin’s Hospital. Simon has the misfortune to be the nephew of Sir Lancelot Spratt, ”Old Blood and Thunder”, the Senior Surgeon, so his career is under a blight from the outset. However, with the aid of his resourceful friend Tony Grimsdyke and a number of nubile nurses, Simon manages to survive medical training and even get within sight of his finals. Anyone who has ever darkly suspected medical students of “goings-on” only needs to see this play to find his suspicions amply confirmed.
