Told by an Idiot and Birmingham Repertory Theatre’s All You Need is LSD comes to The Lowry from November 6 to 10.

It was written by Leo Butler after he accepted an invitation from former government drugs tsar Professor David Nutt to be a guinea pig in the world’s first LSD trials since the 1960s.

Part history, part wild fantasy, it dissects a drugs debate that won’t go away and examines the freedom we have to make our own choices in life, and death.
