I did not recognise this title but on checking see it is there so may have arrived last week from a friend. Your info is more than I had so thanks.
I will have a listen and pop down a synopsis.

If you want a collection of Accents then this is the play for you.
It is set around the variety of people involved in a youth clinic and somehow tied into the case of 'the Girl Richards'; Family - her sister is a prostitute, friends, a pimp, medical staff, workers ……… A real comment on 'society' and the way people are looked after and cared for.
Will the young girl survive her environment?
One might wonder who the patients really are.
The other plot aspect is the centre is under threat of closure, this drives the actions of the staff more than it should somtimes.
Reminds me of the old question asked of the psychiatrist:
"How do we know that the people that we institutionalize are crazy and not us?"
"We don't. We're just in the majority."
Thanks, Rick!
