SHEPHERD’S WARNING explores identity, class, broken families, and how – when life as we know it comes to an end – we’re forced to choose what really matters. Cassie, Bethany and David are estranged siblings who were separated by the foster care system in Scotland. But, after the sudden passing of their mother, they’re thrown back into each other’s juxtaposing worlds. Whilst they are making up for lost time, the climate clock is ticking faster than ever. Can the siblings reconcile before it’s too late?
Shepherd’s Warning by Kari Hall is Slàinte! Theatres debut production. Sláinte! Theatre is a London-based emerging theatre company which aims to tell authentic stories from Irish and Scottish Voices. We want to create a network for Irish and Scottish creatives in London, and to nurture a community of Celtic artists.

SHMEDIC
2025-05-22 19:30 - 2025-05-23 21:00 | McQueens Theatre, 4 Coburg Rd, London, N22 6UJ, United Kingdom
“He doesn’t get it. I’d do anything to protect him…”
From the valleys of South Wales, Shmedic sets off for medical school in the hope of saving lives…
Particularly that of her younger brother Chuk, from sickle cell.
But when a night shift from hell and an untimely encounter with a dead body turns her whole life upside down, who will save her?
We meet Shmedic mid therapy session, in a desperate bid to clear her name.
Flashbacks of a not so sunny childhood and a tumultuous time at medical school, reveal a stark contrast to the exemplary ‘NHS hero’ she so proudly claims to be. If superpowers and extra resilience were handed out at graduation… well… she must have missed that part.
Will anyone stand at the door to clap when the mask slips, and all that’s left is a bit of a Shmedic?
Exploring themes of mental health and identity with a comedic edge, this debut one woman play by doctor turned writer and actress Dr Sara Otung brings a new voice to the stage.
