Hearing Voices

What really goes on behind the locked doors of a psychiatric hospital? After a suicide attempt Clare Summerskill spent two months in such a place…
In this new play we hear the stories of six real-life people who recently met as patients on an acute secure psychiatric ward in London, the writer of this piece being one of them. The result is a unique and powerful piece of verbatim theatre both touching and hilarious, which explores the experiences of Mental Health Users behind locked doors.
Claire Summerskill performs with an ensemble cast.
