The Divided Laing

By Patrick Marmion

London, 1970: Experimental psychiatrist R.D. Laing is facing eviction from his pioneering asylum in the East End's Kingsley Hall. Local residents are up in arms and to make matters worse, Ronnie s revolutionary colleague David Cooper is flipping out on the roof... Will Laing take a one-way trip to madness or can breakdown sometimes mean breakthrough? This manic farce explores the ideas of radical psychiatrist RD Laing on the 50th anniversary of the Philadelphia Association which he co-founded. His visionary ideas about the treatment of those with mental health issues, have now been incorporated into everyday practice. A fast-paced mind-bending play fun to perform.
