Description

Blue/Orange by Joe Penhall A powerful exploration of identity and prejudice, Blue/Orange tells the story of Christopher, a young man confined to a psychiatric ward. Despite his confinement, he refuses to accept that oranges are not blue, a conviction that sparks tension with those around him. As the boundaries between reality and delusion blur, the complexities of culture, ethics, and sanity come into sharp focus. This thought-provoking play challenges its audience to confront their own assumptions and biases. First performed at the Cottesloe Theatre in 2000, Blue/Orange has been revived by the Young Vic in 2016, making this edition a timely opportunity to engage with Penhall's incisive commentary on our society.
