Description

Bright by Polly Wiseman Clair is bright. Too bright. She crackles with energy. She has a flat, a boyfriend, a life - until one night she loses it all... Sectioned to a psychiatric ward, should Clair comply with the system or defy it Is she manic, as the doctors tell her - or just too 'bright' for their liking A play about saving your world, your wits, your spark - your life. Sometimes minds aren't lost. They're stolen. Playing Fields by Neela Dolezalova Thyme's with Flea, when it pleases her. Kieran festers in a world of fish'n'chips. Pete and his digi-cam are getting closer and closer. And Justin's learning curve suddenly does a 360 degrees. An extraordinary play about love, protest and growing up.
