There was no more charismatic or controversial a figure during the Swinging Sixties than Scottish psychiatrist Laing. Dubbed “the white Martin Luther King” and the “high priest of anti-psychiatry”, Laing was as famous as Dylan.

In 1965, he established Kingsley Hall in East London as a medication-free community for those seriously affected by schizophrenia. His methods and theories flew in the face of a medical establishment who considered Laing a dangerous radical.

The world premiere of Mad To Be Normal will take place on February 26.
