Blue/Orange

Now here’s a worthy import. The Guthrie Lab closes its 2003-2004 season with a play the London Guardian called “the year’s funniest and most important.” Winning the “triple crown” of British theater awards, Blue/Orange depicts a struggle between two psychiatrists over the care of a soon-to-be-released Afro-Caribbean patient. Christopher suffers from multiple personality disorder, but the feud that ensues between his doctors—idealistic Bruce and conservative Robert—is the real heart of the matter. Infusing heavy-hitting issues of race, class, and human isolation with a refreshing dose of humor, Blue/Orange is sure to make as many waves here as it did across the pond. 700 N. 1st St., Minneapolis; (612) 377-2224; www.guthrietheater.org
