Synopsis
VITALS by Rosamund Small is a powerful one-woman show exploring the lived experience of a Toronto paramedic. Originally performed in 2014, VITALS is reimagined for 2026 to reflect how healthcare has been profoundly reshaped over the past 12 years. Performed and embodied for the first time by a healthcare worker who lived through it, Dr. Janet McMordie.
Based on real interviews with paramedics, physicians and nurses, VITALS examines life-and-death calls, bureaucracy, burnout, and the emotional toll of frontline health care. Director Alaine Hutton brings the text to life where the body becomes the site of memory, strain, and resilience. (factorytheatre.ca)
