"Stand By Your Beds” hoping to Raise £50,000 for the Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice

Stand by your Beds, a brand new musical is being premiered in January to raise much needed funds for the Farnham based Hospice, Phyllis Tuckwell. Written and produced by an operating theatre nurse from Frimley Park Hospital, it tells the story of the lives and loves of a General Hospitals staff in the 1950’s as they face the mounting bureaucracy of the NHS. This new Rock & Roll show (Grease meets Carry on Nursing) has its world premiere in the Princes Hall in Aldershot in January. Production costs have been raised by various events and very generous donations by the Doctors and Nurses at Frimley Park so come January, every penny from ticket sales will go to the Hospice, hopefully raising over £50,000.

Sadly, in April 2006 the Hospice had to close four of its 18 beds as the result of a significant drop in legacy income and general donations. An appeal was launched to raise awareness of their need for support and as a result two of the four beds have now been reopened. If the money raised by “Stand By Your Beds” can help in any way to open another bed, then this could make a massive difference to local families at a very sad time in their lives.

The “Stand By Your Beds” team have been hard at work, running marathons dressed as nurses, opening local fares and fetes and doing car boot sales to raise both funds and awareness. While performing at a summer fare in Dunsfold, they were lucky enough to enlist the support of London theatre impresario Sir Trevor Nunn and his wife , actress Imogen Stubbs, who is now the proud owner of a “Stand by your Beds” T shirt (see Photo)

All of the performers, musicians and production team are donating their considerable time and talent to this project for free, helping to maximise the funds available to the Hospice and we are extremely grateful to all of them for their help and support.

Tickets are now on sale and are going like the proverbial “Hot Cakes”
Some seats on Friday and Saturday nights are already sold out and the team are now looking for local businesses to sponsor the show or advertise in the programme.
