Event Description

Christopher has been detained under the Mental health Act. He is due to be released. His 28 days is up.

Set on the verge of the start of the new millennium in the heart of a failing NHS, two experts come head to head to decide on the fate of a young man who could possibly be the illegitimate son of an African dictator.

A darkly funny contemporary drama that throws race, mental health, and institutional politics into the melting pot with startling consequences.

Highly acclaimed when first produced by the National Theatre in 2000, blue/orange is honest and well observed. A contemporary classic that will resonate deeply.

Brought to you by Canoe Theatre, dedicated to giving audiences the experience of great plays from all over the world.

Comment by Julia Thomas on January 1, 2014 at 4:15: Ha! No Ioan, I only had the option to put start and end in rather than that it's on each day at 8pm (but it's all in the body of the message!) I really hope you can make it, it would be great to see you there.

Comment by Ioan Hefin on December 28, 2013 at 6:00: Sounds pretty exciting Julia! Will definitely try to get there. Got a bit confused by the 11pm time listing but have clarified the times via Sherman site (or is there an 11pm showing?!)
