Artist Daniel Baker creates scenarios from a play about a disease, The Simbysial Case, taking inspiration from the paper theatres popular during Victorian times. The Little Theatre of Disease and Desire's protagonist is The Patient, who tries to discover the whys and wherefores of his disease. The Patient embarks on a journey of discovery, encountering a series of weird and wonderful characters, including The Two Headed Leech and The Tiny Surgeon. Baker is the man behind comic strip Donkey Head and this show has a similar quality, entirely crafted from paper, painted in watercolours and displayed throughout the always-atmospheric Old Operating Theatre.
