Blue/Orange

<i>You'll never keep me locked up white man. This is one nigga you don't get to keep white man. Cos I'm gonna bark every time you come near. D'you understand?</i><br/><br/>Christopher has been confined to a psychiatric ward for a month. He wants out. The problem is he still thinks oranges are blue. His doctor 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 'people who think just like him'. And besides it costs taxpayer money to keep Christopher in care.<br/><br/>Race ethics sanity and prejudice collide in Joe Penhall's exquisitely sharp 'state-of-the-nation' classic. <i>Blue/Orange </i>was first performed at the Cottesloe Theatre National Theatre in April 2000. This edition has been published to coincide with the Young Vic's revival production in 2016.
