Poppy Shakespeare

BACK TO LIST

 


Brief synopsis:

 

Poppy Shakespeare

N is a 13 year veteran of the Dorothy Fish, a psychiatric day hospital in North London, whose sole ambition is never to be discharged. But when glamorous Poppy bursts onto the scene, loudly protesting her sanity and desperate to get out, a baffled N reluctantly agrees to help her.


In a 21st century catch 22, the pair soon discover that to qualify for legal aid to pay for the lawyer to prove she is sane, Poppy must get sickness benefit, for which she must prove she is mad. Trapped in a crazy upside-down world, where nothing turns out to be quite what it seems, a curious friendship develops born of love.
