By Michelle Kennedy - Director - Lafayette Co. C-1 High School

My high students had a great time performing this play. It was full of twists and turns, and it was very funny! I would definitely recommend this play to other schools and theater programs.

SEEKING ASYLUM is sure to keep you on your toes. Welcome to a world where the Doctor's pills cure all and nothing at the same time, leaving you with questions and, of course, the side effects.

By Sue Fabrizio - Producer - Plainville Choral Society Players

Seeking Asylum is a fast-paced romp between imagination and reality, between laughter and tears and in its own way tells a story of love, friendship, truth and honesty. It is a madcap and almost farcical comedy about folks making their way through life in an asylum or trying to get back there. By the end, the line in and out of reality draws very thin providing for a fun and memorable evening at the theater.

By Kitty Stroede - Co-director - Crescent Players

We performed this play with a range of experienced and newbie actors and found it to be clever and fast-paced. The set was minimalistic, relying on lighting and blocking to convey the scenes. It was a challenge to connect the audience with the character's relationships to one another, but with physical tells and expressions it worked well. The various ages in the cast and audience connected with the subject matter. Lots of laughs!

By Alex Luft - Editor - County News Live.com, Herman, MO

Audiences are in for a show that breaks many boundaries of traditional high school theater fare. The play by St. Louis writer Jerry Rabushka paints the picture of lovable but hopelessly needy people, and the accompanying figments of their desperate imaginations, in a narrative that bends the bars between pop culture, commercialism, complete insanity and the embarrassing dependence of the human condition.Alex Luft, editor, County News Live.com, Herman, MO

Absolutely hilarious...our audience loved it!

By Dawn Davidson - Theatre Teacher - Udall High School

An unusual play that really works. The audience loved it, and the students had a blast performing this dark, delicious comedy about sanity or the lack thereof.

Synopsis

Mark is in the insane asylum—and he loves it! He gets tons of attention, makes great friends, and always has lots to do. The only problem is his wife, Rene...she's in the real world, and is sick of Mark getting so much attention, so she takes the only logical step—she tries to have herself admitted, too. Here's a world where one set of delusions is cured by another; where real life and infomercial join together for a skewed sense of reality (and product endorsement); where a character's crazy ramblings make more sense than the folks who live in the "sane" universe. Seeking Asylum is a fast-paced romp between imagination and reality, between laughter and tears, and in its own way, tells a moving story on the values of love, friendship, truth and honesty.For professional production rights please contact Heuer Publishing directly at 800-950-7529.
