Number 6
play

Everyone has their disease, and everyone is mentally ill to some extent. The sixth ward is Dr Ragin’s personal hell. The main question of the play - what is Ward №6? Is it a system a person cannot fight or a fair diagnosis? Is it Ragin’s personal prison or purgatory? Imagine yourself as Dr Ragin. You know that there will never be an end to mentally ill people. You know that the medical personnel will always treat the sick as cattle. You know that evil is everywhere and it is never-ending. One day you understand that being sane is futile, and you start losing your mind...
