Blue/Orange by Rachel Clements
An expertly annotated edition of Joe Penhall's compelling drama: a dark, exhilarating tale of race, madness and power in the midst of a struggling National Health Service.
'Besides interrogating the very idea of madness, Blue/Orange explores the connection between ethnicity and perceptions of mental health...With a real deftness of touch, the play probes notions of authority. It illuminates the way psychiatry can be strategic - and anatomises the politics of medical care.' * Henry Hitchings, Evening Standard (London), 5.11.10 *
'In the way of great comedy, Blue/Orange touches on great themes: self-advancement at the expense of others, perceptions of sanity' * Claudia Pritchard, Independent on Sunday, 7.11.10 *
