Over The Wall Picking Apples
Happily married with a lovely house on the Somerset Levels, Richard could have settled down to life as a withy weaver, cider maker or llama farmer. But then the fish tank started singing to him – the same song over and over, day after day. It was enough to drive him mad.
This is the story of Richard’s response to all this: his admission into the mental health service, a diagnosis of bipolar disorder, medication (the highs…the lows) and making sense of a lifetime lived over the wall picking apples.
It's no laughing matter, but it will make you laugh.

"Over The Wall Picking Apples sets itself apart by the quality of writing, acting and directing. This is a brilliantly written and performed show, that gets to the heart of so many aspects of mental health." Disability Arts Online
