About the play
A window into a misunderstood experience.
Mind's Chaos is a fast paced, two hander that takes young audiences inside the experience of psychosis with honesty, warmth and a surprising amount of humour. It cuts through stigma and myth, replacing fear with understanding.
Suitable for ages 14 and over, the play runs as a single act with a simple, flexible staging that fits a hall, studio or classroom. As well as secondary schools, it can be taken into sixth forms, universities or fringe theatre venues, and works beautifully alongside the follow up workshop and Q&A.
The result is theatre that entertains first and teaches naturally, leaving pupils thinking, talking and more compassionate about mental health.
