I can safely say that without going here I wouldn’t be doing what I was doing today. So no matter what you decide to do later in life, the experiences you will have here at GAA will no doubt make it a second home in no time!

Takin' Over the Asylum


Posted by GAA on Monday, 13 March 2017

Adapted for the stage by the author, Takin' Over the Asylum by Donna Franceschild is a hilarious, updated and profoundly moving adaptation of Donna Franceschild's Bafta-winning BBC TV-series. Set in a Scottish mental institution, the play reveals hope and joy in the fragile beauty of the human heart. 

When Ready Eddie McKenna, Soul Survivor and double glazing salesman, arrives to reinvigorate St Jude's defunct hospital radio station he turns more than the ramshackle station upside down. The whisky drinking would-be DJ meets the 19-year-old bipolar Campbell, schizophrenic electronic genius Fergus, OCD Rosalie and the elusive Francine. Fighting against illness and perception Eddie and the patients of St Jude's strive for their dreams to be accepted. This story will be performed in GAA on Monday 28th and Tuesday 29th August. Tickets can be purchased through ticketsource.co.uk/gaatheatre or in the office.
