Forgotten for decades inside a mental hospital, three women escape their present by remembering their past. In the asylum's hair salon, to the strains of Rick Astley and Glenn Miller, they relive wartime affairs, illicit trysts and childhood secrets.

The Idiot Colony is an award-winning and visually stunning play by Red Cape Theatre, based on real life accounts of the treatment and incarceration of young women in mental asylums during 1940s England.

"...an affecting, humorous piece of physical theatre" The Times

“...it has a sly sense of fun. One to catch…” The Guardian

"...endlessly inventive, thoroughly disquieting. It's stunning" The Metro
