Description

Blue/Orange is a thought-provoking play that explores the complexities of race, madness, and power in a decaying National Health Service. Written by Joe Penhall, the author of the acclaimed play Some Voices, this accessible and vibrant work delves into themes of sanity and insanity, prejudice and difference, and the social structures surrounding schizophrenia. First performed at London's Cottesloe Theatre in 2000, Blue/Orange premiered in the West End in 2001. This Student Edition features expert annotation, including a scene-by-scene summary, commentary on the dramatic, social, and political context, and analysis of the play's themes, characters, language, and structure. With its rich exploration of important issues, Blue/Orange is a valuable choice for study and discussion.
