The state sanctioned death of a person who argues or probes the idea that there is no God seems an abhorrence to modern day British society, after all the freedom to question is one that we rightly hang onto with dogged grip, that must never be allowed to slip through our fingers lest dark days revisit the land; the freedom to assert a position against a God, monarchy and ruling classes is something that a more enlightened age must strive to keep.

My Perfect Mind, Theatre Review. Unity Theatre, Liverpool.

Cast: Edward Petherbridge, Paul Hunter.

Standing on the shoulders of giants is never easy, but the view that you see, the distance and insight made possible because of their shining example is worth more than mere currency, it is the opportunity granted to learn and take note. Such is the effect that the return to Unity Theatre of Told By An Idiot’s My Perfect Mind has on the audience that it time to come it will surely be looked upon as a classic piece of theatre of the early 21st Century.

Told By An Idiot’s My Perfect Mind Set To Return To The Unity Theatre.

The centrepiece of the Unity Theatre’s autumn programme is the welcome return of Told By An Idiot with the acclaimed play, My Perfect Mind. This dark comedy features Olivier award-winning actor Edward Petherbridge, one of the U.K.’s most distinguished stage actors who performed in Laurence Olivier’s National Theatre Company and played Guildenstern in the world premiere of Tom Stoppard’s Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead. Undoubtedly an unmissable show!

Brimming with Told by an Idiot’s inventive style, My Perfect Mind is a moving and comic exploration of the resilience of the human spirit. Performed by Edward Petherbridge and Paul Hunter in a production directed by Kathryn Hunter, the show blurs events from a life-changing chapter in Edward’s life and moments from King Lear.
