Given a flat in the city by social services, their mission is to re-assimilate themselves into society - it's either that or a return to the asylum.

"This is the most blissfully funny and touching evening I've had in the theatre for ages" Lyn Gardner, The Guardian

"Simm, in a vast departure from his role as DI Sam Tyler in Life of Mars is prissy, delicate and hysterically funny as Elling" The Stage
