Play With Fire Productions will bringing to the Epstein Theatre stage Joe Penhall’s Some Voices on March 19th and 20th.
Ray, a young man with schizophrenia, is sent to live with his overworked brother after a stint in a psychiatric hospital. With tension between the siblings hanging heavy in the air, Ray wills himself to get his life back on track.
But then he meets Laura, and as his infatuation with her grows, so his chances of regaining any kind of normality fade far into the distance…
Some Voices is a play about minds, medication and the choices we make. It asks us to consider which of us is truly “sane” and how we choose our path through life in a constantly evolving world.
This is the sixth production from Play with Fire, one of Manchester’s most respected and successful theatre companies, and follows 2019’s Danny And The Deep Blue Sea which attracted widespread critical acclaim:
“Confounds expectation and becomes a life-affirming experience.” British Theatre Guide.
“This play is going to stick with me for a long time.” North West End.
“Fiercely-focused and emotionally-charged, the production was truly compelling.” Circles & Stalls.
