In a London psychiatric hospital, an enigmatic patient claims to be the son of an African dictator - a story that becomes unnervingly plausible. An incendiary tale of race, madness and a Darwinian power struggle at the heart of a dying National Health Service, Blue/Orange premiered at London's Cottesloe Theatre in April 2000 and transferred to the West End in 2001.

Review
"Joe Penhall creates as riveting and compelling a new chamber play as we have seen since Michael Frayn's Copenhagen" - Daily Mail
"Britain's best new play since Michael Frayn's Copenhagen…thrillingly original" - Financial Times
"Funny and irreverent…Penhall's writing is vibrant throughout" - Independent on Sunday
"I came out of Joe Penhall's new play in a state of hot, black excitement: emotional, intellectual, moral excitement. How many plays can claim that much?" - Sunday Times
"Exuberant…Penhall has the gift of making serious points in a comic manner and of conveying moral indignation without preaching…Stinging satire" - Guardian
"Provocative, blackly funny…[and] taut with thought-provoking ambiguity" - Independent
