Detained

Detained by Nita Jackson.

Directed by John Passingham

Nita Jackson who suffers from Aspergers Syndrome wrote the play specifically for HENs.

The play poses questions about society and people's sanity. Nita reflects upon her own view of normality and human behaviour and she uses scenes from everyday life to ask "Is anyone Sane?". Through humourous sketches Nita celebrates her freedom of perception, she uses stereotypical characters but invites us to re-examine our own preconceived ideas about people and their behaviour.

The project worked alongside Prospects - The National Autistic Society.
