Hearing Things explores the dilemmas of psychiatry from the points
of view of patients, relatives and staff. Based on experiences of
psychiatrists and patients, the 'healthy' and the 'ill', the play
examines how and if people heal and recover inside institutions. As
part of the research process, staff and patients at Homerton
University Hospital and the Maudsley Hospital in south London took
part in drama programmes creating characters and improvising scenes
, with clinicians and those receiving treatment swapping roles.
Using a unique collaborative process between patients,
psychiatrists and mental health staff, Playing ON Theatre Company
drew together the stories of those receiving and providing mental
health care culminating in performances at the hospitals and in
theatre spaces. At the Maudsley, as a result of taking part, two
patient's progress was so great that doctors allowed their early
discharge. The script of Hearing Things was informed by these
workshop programmes and by the participants.
