Review Quotes:
"Embedded here is an argument for a different treatment for mental illness, practised in Finland, that embraces dialogue with a community, not just a patient...it's a startling piece of work that challenges how you listen and fathom what you hear." --Four Stars - Guardian
"...intelligent, formally liberated and bloody peculiar...as both seriously thought-provoking and seriously funny theatre, it sees Ridiculusmus (remaining) at the very top of their game." --Four Stars - Exeunt Magazine "Writers Jon Haynes and David Woods, drawing inspiration from the 'Open Dialogue' method of dealing with schizophrenia, have created a perplexing piece of theatre that baffles and confounds with precision and structural flair." --Four stars - Younger Theatre "As a theatrical approximation of what one might imagine insanity to be like it is remarkable, virtuosic stuff." --Four stars - Time Out "The piece is intriguing, and whilst it is not the most succinct or snappy piece of theatre you will ever see, it provokes a discussion which is most certainly needed." --Four stars - Public Reviews "Highly intelligent writing - This piece genuinely takes you into a land where you have nothing to hold on to." --Everything Theatre "It is more thought-provoking than sensational and that seems entirely appropriate for a play which opens a dialogue on art and speech as therapy." --What's On Stage
