Synopsis
Mad Forest explores the reactions of ordinary people to confused events, focusing in particular on two families.
What emerges is the dreadful damage done to people's lives by repression and the painful difficulties of lasting change.
Caryl Churchill's play about the Romanian revolution was written after she, the director and a group of students from London's Central School of Speech and Drama went to Romania to work with acting students there.
The play was first performed in 1990, only three months after their return.
