At the age of 23

Paul walks into a psychiatrist's office believing he is either a God, or a King. He leaves with a diagnosis of bi-polar manic depression, and facing a life-changing decision: take the pill and live, or don't take the pill and die.

Challenging perceptions of what it is to live with mental illness, Gods & Kings is a bracingly honest and darkly funny real-life tale, expressing what it is to live a life ruled by mental illness.

This special edition also contains a range of materials from the National Centre of Mental Health, covering diagnoses and issues raised in the play.
