UNDER THEIR INFLUENCE
by Wayne Buchanan

Time Out Critics Choice, featured on BBC' TV's Newsnight, and Choice FM.

Randolph is in a mental hospital, a convicted murderer. In flashback, we learn of his intervention in a domestic dispute, with tragic consequences. The play raises questions about the way black people are perceived and treated in the mental health system.

'The alter egos threaten to take over the asylum in an excellent new play.' Time Out.

‘…the beauty of this play is the way it lingers with you for hours after, taking your mind to places you’d rather not go…’ New Nation

‘…stands out as the best play so far to constructively deal with a serious issue in the black community. Wayne Buchanan deserves a Grammy for this one…’ The Gleaner.
