Bloody Heroes is a play inspired by nursing stories and enemas.

Nurse turned actor, Phillipa Bonnett wrote this play for Fringe 07 to celebrate the work of nurses.

Phillipa believes nurses are truly privileged with the work they do. “Nurses are gifted with meeting patients at weird and interesting times in their lives. Bloody Heroes is made up of these stories,” she says.

Phillipa has worked as a nurse for 10 years and recently finished a performing arts diploma through Whiteria Polytechnic. The transition from nurse to actor has been an interesting one. “My creative bone is working and I love it”.

From matrons and hospital corners, to today’s MECA striking nurses – Flo’s sisterhood has changed! Watch the highs and lows of nursing stories unfold.

The Porirua hospital museum, an old psychiatric ward, is a wonderful, historical and unique place to stage a nursing play.

Bedpans, sluice rooms and capes. It wont hurt a bit!
