The UBC Faculty of Medicine MedPlay 2016, which was held between February 11th and 20th in Hardwick Hall at the MSAC, was a great success this year.

This year’s play, God of Carnage was written by Yasmina Reza. It is about two sets of parents, one of whose child has hurt the other at a public park. The foursome meets to discuss the matter in a civilized fashion. However, as the evening goes on, the parents become increasingly childish, resulting in the evening devolving into chaos.

The MedPlay producers this year want to extend a huge thank you to all the students, staff and faculty who came out to support the 15th anniversary of MedPlay at the UBC Faculty of Medicine. We enjoyed receiving all the great feedback everyone had about just how hilarious our actors were this year, and of course, the delicious clafoutis that we served. We had several sold-old nights and were able to raise $2,500 for HopeAir this year.
