About this event
Lymphoedema is a debilitating condition that affects as many as 250 million people worldwide and yet most people have never heard of it.
The play in one act is based upon the book written by Professor Peter Mortimer, Consultant Dermatologist at St George's University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and Lymphoedema sufferer and world renowned photographer Gemma Levine.
Performed with a full cast of professional actors, it tells the very human story of lymphoedema and will shed light on how the condition can affect young and old with potentially devastating consequences. You will laugh, you will cry but above all you will be enlightened and educated.
The performance will be followed by a short Q&A session with Professor Peter Mortimer, chaired by Dr Kristiana Gordon, Consultant in Dermatology and Lymphovascular Medicine.
The play, by Brian Daniels and directed by Mark Armstrong, was premiered from New York on World Lymphoedema Day 2021 and introduced by Academy Award Winning actor Kathy Bates.
