Culture by Al Smith

Dystopian vision of a world where antibiotics stop working and heartbreaking choices must be made. Starring David Calder.

With increasing numbers of infections becoming drug resistant - Al Smith's dystopian play takes a step into the near future.

Anna is a doctor working in infectious diseases and is forced everyday to help decide whether a patient should receive treatment - or not.

But what happens when the judgement is wrong?
