In Two Minds

Inspired by Joanne's experiences of her mother's bipolar diagnosis, and informed by a series of workshops with other affected families and individuals, thisplay presents a compelling and very human insight into the charms and challenges of a fascinating and commonly misunderstood condition.

Originally commissioned by Belltable: Connect, development of In Two Minds was supported by The Arts Council, Limerick City and County Council, Fishamble's New Play Clinic, Community Foundation Ireland and The JP McManus Benevolent Fund.

This edition was published to coincide with the run at the Dublin Theatre Festival in October 2023.
