Trade Review
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. * Evening Standard *
Operating as a play of ideas, it unleashes raw emotion on all sides, exposing layers of male egotism and neurosis * Daily Telegraph *
Exuberant . . . Penhall has the gift of making serious points in a comic manner and of conveying moral indignation without preaching . . . Stinging satire * Guardian *
Funny and irreverent . . . Penhall's writing is vibrant throughout * Independent on Sunday *
