Idiots Anonymous

Synopsis

Perfect strangers- the mad and the murderer - seek parole, and so, with some remorse, divulge their darkest moments- in group therapy!
The prisons are overbrimming... apparently we must evacuate them... so that we can restock them. But who'll be released when all the 'good' bad guys... are out?
Idiots Anonymous is Chris Barfoot's darkly comedic tale of ten such hopefuls seeking reprieve. Presented as a play... this 90 minute fictional conversation explores a darker side of the human condition, where words of wit meet the maniacal musings of the previously convicted- criminally insane...
Twelve Angry Men meets The Breakfast Club...
