Trade Review“A magical mystery tour into the mind of RD Laing, Patrick Marmion keeps one foot in the past and one in the far-future to create a brilliantly imaginative, very funny play for today.” Leo Butler, playwright. “Fiercely intelligent and hugely entertaining.” Alistair Beaton, satirist and writer on Spitting Image. “Patrick Marmion never loses his masterly grip on his unruly subject's strategies to defeat his professional rivals and his personal nightmares.” Lloyd Trott, Dramaturg, Royal Academy of Dramatic Art
