"I am being harassed. I'm in fear of my life. I live in fear. They Know Who I Am…"
Christopher has been confined to a psychiatric ward for a month. He wants out. The problem is he still thinks oranges are blue. A junior psychiatrist, convinced he needs help, wants to section him. The senior consultant thinks it's all a question of culture: at home in Shepherd's Bush, Christopher will be amongst 'his people'. And besides, it costs taxpayers' money to keep Christopher in care.
Race, madness and medical ethics collide in Joe Penhall's exquisitely sharp, Olivier Award winning modern classic.
