Mary
O'Malley
Look Out...Here Comes Trouble
The play is set in a London psychiatric
hospital. The ‘trouble’ comes in the shape of Dr Wilson,
the psychiatrist, who maintains an uneasy and tenuous relationship
with his patients, unable to offer little more than Valium or Mogadon
to solve their problems of social inadequacy and unfulfilled ambitions.
Here we see Mary O’Malley’s great talent for delineating
a group of individuals locked together within an institutional structure
that cannot accommodate their idiosyncrasies, minor obsessions and
petty foibles. (Cast 8m, 6f)
“...a
truly individual piece of work that is compassionate, funny, tender,
unpreachy and quick-witted.”
~
Michael
Billington, The Guardian
“The
play early makes its point, that the abnormal are people only a
fraction less able to cope than ourselves.”
~
John Barber, Daily Telegraph
“Miss
O’Malley has seen clean into the soul of human frustration.”
~
Jack Tinker, Daily Mail
