About this audiobook
Two pschychiatrists - one new and inexperienced, the other his well-established mentor - battle over the diagnosis and treatment of Chris, a young black man who claims to be the son of African dictator Idi Amin. This dark, edgy comedy - winner of the 2001 Olivier Award for Best New Play - will leave you wondering if anyone in this threesome is sane.
An L.A. Theatre Works full-cast performance featuring Teagle F. Bougere, Matt Letscher and Daniel Davis.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This is such a beautiful play. I urge everybody to read it, and even to see the TV adaptation with john Simms and Shaun Parks if reading isn’t for you. This audio-play version though I’m afraid to say - is not great. I'd give two stars but I dont want to bring down the average rating and deter those that wont read this explanation.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Saw the Young Vic production, the kind of play that fizzes with ideas bringing in concepts of linguistics, mental health, race and typical office politics. Frequently hilarious, sometimes shocking - the tone shifts beautifully throughout. Also, David Haig is a national treasure.
