The centrepiece of Unity Theatre's autumn programme in Liverpool is the welcome return from October 21-25 of Told By An Idiot with the acclaimed play, My Perfect Mind.

This dark comedy features Olivier award-winning actor Edward Petherbridge, one of the UK's most distinguished stage actors who performed in Laurence Olivier's National Theatre Company and played Guildenstern in the world première of Tom Stoppard's Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead.

Brimming with Told by an Idiot’s inventive style, My Perfect Mind is a moving and comic exploration of the resilience of the human spirit.

Performed by Petherbridge and Paul Hunter in a production directed by Kathryn Hunter, the show blurs events from a life-changing chapter in Edward’s life and moments from King Lear.
