Cast Creative Edit

Donna Franceschild’s hilarious and profoundly moving play based on the successful television series (which starred Ken Stott and featured a young David Tennant), "Takin' over the Asylum" premiered at the Citizens Theatre in 2013.

When 'Ready Eddie' McKenna, Soul Survivor and double-glazing salesman, arrives to re-launch a defunct hospital radio station in a psychiatric unit, he gets more than he bargained for!
The whisky-drinking would-be DJ meets the irrepressible Campbell, whose dreams seem untouched by reality, the hyper-organised Rosalie, who is fighting a one-woman war against germs, the electronic genius Fergus, whose voices tell him he's stupid, and the fragile and self-destructive Francine.

While the patients battle with perception and prejudice as much as illness, Eddie — armed only with his soul music record collection — transforms their lives as well as his own.
