The Idiot Colony

Director: Andrew Lawson
Production Company: RedCape Theatre
The Idiot Colony is an award winning and visually stunning play based on real life accounts of the treatment and incarceration of “moral defectives” in 1940’s England. Genuinely funny and incredibly moving.
Forgotten for decades inside a mental hospital, three women escape their present by remembering their past. In the asylum’s hair salon, to the strains of Rick Astley and Glenn Miller they relive wartime affairs, illicit trysts and childhood secrets.

I'm very much looking forward to seeing this. I plan to bring some students along with me to inspire them!
