Takin' Over the Asylum
T246914656
A hilarious and profoundly moving adaptation of Donna Franceschild's cult 90's BBC TV series, revealing hope and joy in the fragile beauty of the human heart. When Ready Eddie McKenna, Soul Survivor and double glazing salesman, arrives to reinvigorate St Jude's defunct hospital radio station he turns more than the ramshackle station upside down. The whisky drinking would-be DJ meets the 19 year-old bipolar Campbell, schizophrenic electronic genius Fergus, OCD Rosalie and the elusive self-harming Francine. Fighting against illness and perception Eddie and the patients of St Jude's strive for their dreams to be accepted. Featuring a fantastic R&B soundtrack including Soul Man, Rainy Night In Georgia and Can't Get Next To You.
