Description

It's Christmas, 1945. The war is over, but its scars remain.

Matron Kathleen Fox has the job of putting the Nightingale Hospital back together. But memories and ghosts of those lost fill the bomb-damaged buildings, and she wonders if she is up to the task.

In the name of festive cheer, Kathleen decides to put on a Christmas Show for the patients. The idea is greeted with mixed feelings by the nurses, who are struggling with their own post-war problems. And the newly formed rivalry between newcomer Assistant Matron Charlotte Davis and ward sister Violet Tanner is not helping matters.

As rehearsals begin, however, it seems the show is not just a tonic for the patients — could the Nightingale Christmas Show be just what the doctor ordered for the nurses too?
