Blue/Orange

Royal George Theatre
1641 N. Halsted Chicago

In a London psychiatric hospital, an enigmatic patient called Christopher claims to be the son of an African dictator - a story that becomes unnervingly plausible. In this psychological thriller, Blue/Orange is an incendiary tale of race, madness and a Darwinian power struggle between two doctors, entrusted with a man's life.

"...Both the script and the production tend to fall slack in the second act, when the hidden agendas become more obvious and a red herring or two in the plot starts to smell of contrivance. The ending in particular is unsatisfactory. And though Fedo and Hickle-Edwards bring plenty of fire to their arguments, there are also moments that feel like they're pulling punches emotionally when the stakes need to be higher. After all, they too have something to lose in how the situation with Christopher plays out."

"...Penhall's peek down the rabbit hole of the government-subsidized health system tackles issues ranging from the mysteries of mental illness to white privilege, racism, and career-conscious power games. The actors in Andrew Root's intimate staging in the Royal George Theatre's tiny Gallery studio deliver Penhall's sardonically sharp-edged dialogue with impeccable precision."
