<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><i>You'll never keep me locked up, white man. This is one nigga you don't get to keep, white man. Cos I'm gonna bark every time you come near. D'you understand?</i><br/><br/>Christopher has been confined to a psychiatric ward for a month. He wants out. The problem is he still thinks oranges are blue. His doctor, convinced he needs help, wants to section him. The senior consultant thinks it's all a question of culture: at home in Shepherd's Bush, Christopher will be amongst 'people who think just like him'. And besides, it costs taxpayer money to keep Christopher in care.<br/><br/>Race, ethics, sanity and prejudice collide in Joe Penhall's exquisitely sharp 'state-of-the-nation' classic. <i>Blue/Orange </i>was first performed at the Cottesloe Theatre, National Theatre, in April 2000. This edition has been published to coincide with the Young Vic's revival production in 2016.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Joe Penhall's plays include <i>Some Voices</i> (1994)<i>; Pale Horse</i> (1995)<i>; In Love and</i> <i>Understanding </i>(1997)<i>; The Bullet</i> (1998), <i>Blue/Orange</i> (2000 - Evening Standard Best Play Award, the Critics' Circle Award for Best New Play and the 2001 Olivier Award for Best New Play), <i>Haunted Child</i> (2011), <i>Birthday </i>(2012) and <i>Sunny Afternoon </i>(2014).
