Disciples of Anatomy is a period drama by Out of Fashion Theatre Company, an amateur company, performed at Ivy Studio. Set in London during 1848, the play follows three women — Cassandra Thwaite, Adelaide Hall and Maud Flemming — who are wives of eminent medical men enduring an excruciating afternoon tea as the table is set for calamity. Tense, darkly funny and true to life, the play champions Autistic-led theatre through its protagonist Maud, described as the first neurodivergent heroine in a period drama. The show runs for 70 minutes. Tickets are £10 and it is suitable for ages 14 and above.
Why see this show?
A sharp, darkly funny period drama that puts a neurodivergent heroine at its centre — something genuinely rare for the genre. The setting of 1848 London and a room full of repressed women making for calamity makes this a compelling and original Fringe choice.
