Blue/Orange

In a London psychiatric hospital, an enigmatic patient claims to be the son of an African dictator –a story that becomes unnervingly plausible. This is an incendiary tale of race, madness and a Darwinian power struggle at the heart of a dying National Health Service.

Blue/Orange premiered at London’s Cottesloe Theatre in April 2000 before transferring to the West End. Winner of the 2001 Olivier Award for Best New Play, Critics’ Circle Award and Evening Standard Award for Best Play.
