  • Synopsis

    The delicate balance between lunacy and sanity is explored in this play. Set on both sides of the bars of a mental hospital, and through the interaction between Billy and Jack, it raises the question of who should be inside or who outside. Jack is weighed down with the worries of the world and can see nothing in front of him but bars and barriers. Billy, on the other hand, see the spaces between those same bars.
