Maggie O'Neill stars as Alison in Sarah Woods 's specially commissioned play for the mental health series, States of Mind.
Overwhelmed by the demands of everyday life and driven to respond to other people's needs rather than her own, Alison resorts to a fantasy sanctuary. But can she find the strength to cope in the real world?
Director Mairi Russell
