Health Care Crisis Plays: Mercy Killers & Side Effects
written and performed by Michael Milligan
Two amazing plays in rep May 17 through June 3 (previews May 17-18)
Mike is an Actors Equity activist involved in their "Fair Wage Onstage" Campaign in NYC
Mercy Killers
Blue collar Joe grapples with his red state ideals when he realizes the measures he must take to care for his beloved wife. A surprisingly tender love story, Mercy Killers is an unblinking look at health care in America.
Exceptional. In our ever present day of political discourse, finger pointing, and profitable racket over healthcare, Milligan manages to strip down the arguments by humanizing them to a frustrating, but immensely profound degree.
— Manhattan Digest
Side Effects
As bureaucratic pressures collide with his professional and personal responsibilities, a doctor must reconcile the art and business of medicine.
More than half of physicians in America struggle with burnout. Playwright Michael Milligan spent the last couple years asking doctors around the country “why?” Here are the answers, a stunning revelation of just how complicated things are.
May 19 - June 3
at the Capitol Hill Arts Workshop
545 7th Street SE WDC 20003
$15; click here now for schedule and tickets
