Dazed and Abused is a farcical comedy of manners ridiculing privileged people in British society…with a twist! The play is set around a date that goes horribly wrong and portrayed, a la Pirandello, by performers who also begin to lose control. The evening is hosted by an actual psychiatrist who may or may not be stable enough himself to get control when things begin to spiral past the point of no return.
“What makes this play especially intuitive is that all of the performers themselves have come from privileged backgrounds (one is an actual countess) and/ or from high status jobs (guard’s officer, public relations man, psychiatrist, designer and journalist) before training as actor,” says director Mark Bowden. “Here, they are pretty much playing versions of themselves.”
