REVIEW: The Mould that Changed the World (Surgeon’s Hall) ★★★★
It’s quite a bold title and aptly staged at the Surgeon’s Hall. The show begins at a UN conference for Anti-Microbial Resistance (AMR), which is at once a curious place to start, considering that this is a musical. Yes that’s right. Musical theatre. About antibiotics. Stay with me. The action goes right to the dawn […]
