Inside Out is a ground breaking new drama exploring the impact of mental illness on the relationship between a mother and her son.

One in five Australians will directly experience a mental illness in their lifetime, an experience which is deeply personal, often misunderstood and always leaves its mark.

Inside Out is an honest, courageous and compassionate journey into one young man’s mind, to the place where borders are shifting and battle lines are drawn; and into his mother’s struggle to understand what is happening, to maintain her loving relationship with her son, and somehow find a way to help.

What do you do when life abruptly turns you upside down, grabs your heart and squeezes it tight? When you need to find all the love, strength and resilience possible? Courageous, heartbreaking and yet surprisingly funny, Inside Out is a compelling story of love and insight, where realities collide and lives are transformed.

Projects such as Inside Out can assist in effecting change in attitude towards those with serious mental health problems. I applaud and encourage the development of projects which seek to educate the wider public about mental illness and its effect on the individual, their family and loved ones. My best wishes are with Christine Dunstan Productions and the Inside Out team as they take the important message of this play to the Australian community.
