Hearing
Voices
by
Clare Summerskill
performed by Clare Summerskill and her company ARTEMIS
Wednesday
19th May, 7.30pm
What
really goes on behind the locked doors of a psychiatric
hospital?
After
a suicide attempt Clare Summerskill spent two months on
such a ward in London. This is her personal account of life
on an NHS ward, combined with testimonies she gathered from
other mental health service users who were in hospital with
her.
A courageous
and extraordinary account of how people are treated once
they enter the ward of a mental hospital. Unless you have
survived this system yourself (in which case you will recognise
it as all too truthful) this will challenge every assumption
you ever had.
A
one-off theatrical experience written and performed by Clare
Summerskill herself with members of her theatre company
Artemis, (of “Gateway To Heaven” renown).
