Comic, poet and reformed psychiatric nurse Rob Gee presents a user-friendly guide to losing the plot.
Fruitcake charts a night shift on an acute psychiatric ward, seen through the eyes of a jaded nurse who hears the voice of God – a kindly Jamaican woman – who gives him ten benevolent commandments to help him through the shift; and life.
“Gee has pitched it perfectly… this hour showcases his strong talents as a witty, skilful storyteller.” Chortle
Rob Gee spent eleven years working as a registered nurse in psychiatric units around the UK and Australia. Now a performance poet, he’s toured the UK, Europe, Australia and North America, won numerous poetry slams, and regularly appears on BBC radio.
Also features internationally renowned dub poet Jean ‘Binta’ Breeze as the voice of God. Jean has been described by the British Council as “one of the most important, influential performance poets of recent years.” She also has a diagnosis of schizophrenia.
