Can I Help You? Omnibus Theatre London
Sensitive exploration of triggers for mental breakdown

THIS is a little gem of a play, in which a suicidal policeman, fresh from a fatal stabbing of yet another East End youngster, is forced into re-evaluating his life when approached by a mentally troubled and mistreated Ghanaian woman.
Set one night on the notorious suicide spot Beachy Head, the action catapults between formative moments from their pasts and their quirky interaction as an unusual relationship develops that will carry them through the hours of darkness.
As the bloodied copper who has seen too much and still carries the weight of a tragic childhood experience, Gabriel Vick gives an intense performance.
