WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

Insanity is just a state of mind.

Tony Award nominated actor Keith Carradine returns to the New York stage in the New York premiere of Anthony Horowitz's acclaimed thriller, Mindgame. Ken Russell, the celebrated director of the films Tommy, Woman In Love and The Boyfriend, makes his New York stage directorial debut.

When a writer of pulp crime novels gets an interview with a notorious serial killer he believes he has snared the coup of his career. But when he arrives at the asylum, he finds nothing can be trusted, not even his own eyes. Through a series of lies, manipulations and memories, dark secrets are revealed. Why is there a skeleton in the doctor's office? Where did the raw meat in the fridge come from? What is the nurse so afraid of? ...and most importantly, how does one get out?
