Above The Hospital

This summer at the Toronto Fringe Festival, Midtwenties Theatre presents “Above The Hospital”, a searingly intimate portrait of young adulthood suspended in the quiet panic of the mid-2020s.

Written and directed by Beau Han Bridge, the play follows a group of broke young artists gathering for a casual pregame in a cramped apartment. At the center is Lauren, an aspiring filmmaker quietly carrying a shattering secret: her estranged mother has just passed away via Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID). Through Lauren’s grief and the messy, stumbling boundary-crossing of her friends, Above The Hospital tackles the agonizing terrain of modern consent, financial precarity, and what happens when the dreams we were promised fail to pay the rent. Praise for Midtwenties Theatre:”Gritty sense of authenticity.” – Fresh Sheet Reviews “A slice of life that’s sure to resonate.” – On the List Runtime: 90 minutes Content Advisory: Contains mature themes, including discussions of financial precarity, mental health, relationships, and medical assistance in dying (MAID).
