Description Reviewer's opinion (Australian and New Zealand Theatre Record): "Physical theatre in a very pure form - using the body to speak. It's a seductive, fascinating and highly entertaining experience for all."
From Performance Space database:
"George Phantom employed as a cleaner in the Hills of Calm Mental Institute by the seemingly jovial Dr Noah. As George gets to know the inmates he discovers that the rigid line painted by society between sanity and madness is a delusion and he is drawn into a bizarre guerilla war against the hospital establishment aided by surreal armies of the unconscious."
