Paranoia

"Theatre Columbus has crossed the line from superior to remarkable. Its new production of Paranoia is nothing less than a breakthrough, with a consistency of purpose and a kind of solid, thematic development"
Henry Mietkiewicz, The Sunday Star

Barry Munch, the central character, is an insecure archivist who enjoys clipping newspaper stories about what he believes are coincidences of cosmic proportions. Ever so slowly, he becomes increasingly suspicious of everyone – his girlfriend, his neighbours, his co-workers, even his personal belongings.
