Based on the childhood experiences of one of the writers, Disorder follows the journey of a fledgling family through the precipitous terrain of bipolar disorder. The play is focused around two time periods; the present where a son is visiting his mother at a psychiatric hospital, and the past where the mother and son attempt to address the differences between their perspectives. Touching on consumerism, creative impulse and the stigma of mental health, Disorder attempts to give a real look at the effects that mental illness can have both on the person themselves and the people around them.
