Takin' Over The Asylum

About The Show

A hilarious yet profoundly moving adaptation of the popular Donna Francechild BBC series. Set in a Scottish mental institution, the play reveals hope and joy in the fragile beauty of the human heart. When Eddie McKenna arrives to reinvigorate Saint Jude‘s defunct hospital radio station, he and the patients do more than turn a ramshackle station into a deeply moving, painful, yet positive experience for everyone. Fighting against illness and mental health stigmas, Eddie and the misunderstood patients of Saint Jude strive for their dreams to be accepted. A beautiful and equally comedic, yet dramatic, reflection of the human heart, mental health and the perception of those around us.
