The Divided Laing cover

• This manic farce explores the ideas of radical psychiatrist RD Laing on the 50th anniversary of the Philadelphia Association which he co-founded. • Ideas which were way ahead of their time about the treatment of those with mental health issues, have now been incorporated into everyday practice. • Produced by Stepping Out Theatre Company which aims to raise awarenesss of mental health in the UK.

“A magical mystery tour into the mind of RD Laing, Patrick Marmion keeps one foot in the past and one in the far-future to create a brilliantly imaginative, very funny play for today.” Leo Butler, playwright. “Fiercely intelligent and hugely entertaining.” Alistair Beaton, satirist and writer on Spitting Image. “Patrick Marmion never loses his masterly grip on his unruly subject's strategies to defeat his professional rivals and his personal nightmares.” Lloyd Trott, Dramaturg, Royal Academy of Dramatic Art
