Bad Blood Blues - 21st April - 9th May 2009 

Martina Laird in Bad Blood Blues

Nathaniel Martello-White in Bad Blood Blues

By Paul Sirett 

Bad Blood Blues is a powerfully intense and totally engrossing new play that leads us deep into a personal and sexual moral maze whilst questioning the wider ethics of drug trials in Africa.

Clare, dedicated to her work, is conducting an HIV/AIDS drugs test in an African hospital. Patrice, a student working in admin, spends his spare time with Clare to improve his English. Or so he says.

A passionate relationship develops, but soon disintegrates as Clare's work is challenged by Patrice who reveals a deeply personal interest in the tests...and drops a bombshell or two that shock Clare to the core.

A one act play performed in Theatre Royal's Studio space, Bad Blood Blues is 70 minutes of edge of your seat drama with scintillating, not-to-be-missed performances from its two stars, Martina Laird and Nathaniel Martello-White.

Directed by Ryan Romain
