Semblance of Madness
Gosfield School J W Turner Performing Arts Centre, Gosfield, CO9 1PF
Thursday 19th November 2026
A powerful and challenging drama set in the women’s ward of a psychiatric hospital. Three women meet for a therapeutic drama session and each claim, apparently truthfully, that she is a mental health professional and that the other two women are patients.
One of the three is suspected of committing a gruesome murder…but which one? In this unusual and unsettling ‘whodunnit’ the extremes of human emotions spill over as conflict heightens and the truth eventually comes out.
How much of this unpredictable and sinister behaviour is a manifestation of mental illness and how much is acting? Are we really witnessing madness or merely a ‘Semblance of Madness’?
