Head/Case

by Ron Hutchinson

Overview

Somebody hit Tracy on the head with a brick. And something just as bad has happened to Julia. But how can you hang on to your identity when you don't know who you are anymore? Head/Case is a powerful drama about identity and a mind damaged almost beyond repair.
How do you define yourself when you literally don't know who you are anymore? How do you begin to heal when you cannot fix your sense of self? And how much does nationality, culture and memory shape who you actually are?
Produced at the Soho Theatre in January 2005.

Editorial Reviews

(the play) raises questions about the mind's ability to impose meaning on the physical world. It is philosophy in motion, if you like … But what is most

amazing is that this piece, by drawing attention to its own artifice, vividly celebrates the live, raw, communal experience of theatre and the mutual give and take between actors and audience” —The Guardian
