Blue/ Orange by Joe Penhall. May 2026.
Role: Associate Designer
“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. This revival features new revisions in collaboration with the playwright, reimaging the junior psychiatrist as a young woman, adding resonance to the play's exploration of prejudice, power and identity.
Performances between April 29 and May 10 at OSO Arts Centre, in Barnes.
