A ferocious comedy, with dialogue fueled by testosterone and paced like a volley of bullets’ - NEW YORK TIMES

What do you do when you can’t tell the inmate from the shrink?
In a London psychiatric hospital. Christopher claims he's the son of the late Ugandan dictator, Idi Amin and that oranges are blue. - a story that becomes unnervingly plausible.
This baffling young man becomes a human punchbag in the battle between two psychiatrists.
But is Chris seriously ill, or is he being misdiagnosed by an uptight doctor?
Blue/Orange keeps us guessing as our perception of the characters, and their relationship to each other, constantly shifts.
An incendiary tale of race, madness and a Darwinian power struggle at the heart of a dying NHS, Blue/Orange challenges assumptions about 'normality' and questions whether 'sanity' is dependant on the colour of your skin.
Directed by Middlesbrough Theatre regular Karen Henson – last seen in Tabs Productions’ Snake in the Grass a year ago – Blue/Orange is being specially re-mounted for the theatre as part of its Summer Drama Season.
