It came to him in a terrible dream at first. A black ooze monster that was, somehow, strangely familiar. A monstrous version of himself. Then, it never left. An evil twin. His twin. He didn’t know what to do with it. But when a mysterious group came looking for it, he chose to protect his ‘evil twin’ because he needed to find out what it all meant in this drama about mental illness.
Then he asked another person to see it. It hurt him when she saw it. Not like any other physical assault but as though it felt pain and so it hurt him. This play confronts the horrors of schizophernia but also asks the question, ‘It is really in his mind or was it real all along?’ A play that teeters on a drama about mental illness and a horror.
Once there’s a monster inside, do you choose to become it? Is there even a choice? Unleashing the madness within…
