Revolving door
Revolving Door is a 40 minute play about early intervention in #psychosis. Based on a real case, it tells the story of a young man who is experiencing psychosis and looks at how he can be helped by professionals at the crisis point, where he is contemplating #suicide.
The play is followed by an interactive debate to explore the question of whether Martin’s suicide could have been prevented. Its duration can be tailor made to your needs.
Revolving Door by Polly Wright has recently been redeveloped in association with psychiatrist @drerinturner to bring it fully up to date. The play is currently being rolled out every year to 400 medical students on their psychiatry rotation at @unibirmingham University Medical School.
#RevolvingDoor was shortlisted for a National Media Award for work in Northern Ireland, where it evaluated as the most effective intervention in an anti stigma campaign run by @rethinkmentalillness
