Ravenscourt Tickets

Georgina Burns' Ravenscourt currently playing at the Hampstead Theatre is a must-see for anyone interested in seeing a searing, honest picture of the UK's mental health system today and exploring the optimism and commitment required to make a difference inside it.

The play follows Lydia, an idealistic and driven therapist who has left her cushy private practice job to work at Ravenscourt, a clinic for society's most vulnerable to make a difference in society. However, as Lydia settles into her profession, she realizes how tough it is to affect change in a broken system and truly alter things for Daniel, one of her patients with whom she rapidly builds a bond.

The story is incredibly relevant, as it tackles the issue of how society often fails those who need help the most and highlights the importance of fighting for what you believe in, even when the odds seem insurmountable.

The terrific cast includes Josef Davies, Jon Foster, Andrea Hall, and Lizzy Watts, all of whom provide excellent performances and address the topic of mental health with tact and clarity.

Ravenscourt is a strong and affecting piece of theatre that will linger in your mind long after the final curtain has fallen, and cannot be missed.
