Halifax Thespians present Semblance of Madness by John H. Newmeir and SAVIOUR by Sinaan Khan
Are we really witnessing madness or merely a ‘Semblance of Madness’?
A powerful and challenging drama set in the women’s ward of a psychiatric hospital. Three women meet for a therapeutic drama session and each claim, apparently truthfully, that she is a mental health professional and that the other two women are patients. One of the three is suspected of committing a gruesome murder…but which one? How much of this unpredictable and sinister behaviour is a manifestation of mental illness and how much is acting?
Saviour, by Sinaan Khan:
Amjad is a struggling writer bustling his way through hectic life. Chaotic in his approach to rejection, ignorant in how he deals with heartbreak and isolated in his sense of grief, he wrestles between his freedom as an artist and his desire for stability. Both performed in the Playhouse Studio Bar.
