Not everything in life is black + white.
This production contains smoking and coarse language.
From the screen writer of the feature film Enduring Love comes something like a theatrical cross between a medical examination and a boxing match. Blue/Orange is tough, funny and utterly absorbing.
The play’s three characters are Christopher and his two psychiatrists. The action unfolds over one day. Christopher has been committed to hospital after lewd public behaviour. He’s clearly deeply troubled, but within the inadequate public health system he’s 24 hours away from release unless the doctors can pin down (and agree upon) his illness.
Joe Penhall’s provocative, edgy comedy examines the unspoken politics of institutions, challenges assumptions about ‘normality’ and questions whether sanity is dependent on the colour of your skin.

"Britain's best new play since Michael Frayn's Copenhagen. Thrillingly original."
By The Daily Mail
“Riveting. You will argue into the night about the play but you will have had a unique experience and superb entertainment.”
By Sunday Times
"I came out of Joe Penhall's new play in a state of hot, black excitement: emotional, moral and intellectual excitement. How many plays can claim that?"
