UNPRESCRIBED

‘Yes. This is the right place to be.’

– Dr. Blink, Founder

Sinister, funny, sexy, and absurd, UNPRESCRIBED is a devised theatrical comedy exploring anxiety, obsession, and the social expectations of femininity. We invite the audience to an open evening at The Centre for Reorganisation, where patients are led through a series of exercises designed to aid their journey to a more peaceful existence. As the programme progresses, The Centre starts to unravel, and differences between the real and the surreal become increasingly blurred. The story is told through a combination of imaginative 'treatments,' comedy, music, song, dance, and vegetables.
