The Idiot Colony

The Idiot Colony
Wed 14 October at 7.30pm

The Idiot Colony is an award winning and visually stunning play based on real life accounts of the treatment and incarceration of 'moral defectives' in 1940's England. Forgotten for decades inside a mental hospital, three women escape their present by remembering their past. In the asylum's hair salon, to the strains of Rick Astley and Glenn Miller they relive wartime affairs, illicit trysts and childhood secrets.

Hit of the 2008 Edinburgh Fringe, Red Cape received a Fringe First award and the Total Theatre award for Best Visual Theatre.

"This intense, beautifully constructed piece of physical theatre lingers for days afterwards."
The List, Edinburgh Fringe 2008
