CALL ME CRAZY
Call Me Crazy is Olivia Ormond’s debut play, launched at the Hollywood Fringe Festival before making its way to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, where it received widespread critical acclaim. This fearless one-woman show confronts medical gaslighting, systemic dismissal, and the cost of being unheard, establishing Ormond as a powerful new voice in contemporary theatre.
Backed by an extraordinary wave of critical recognition, Call Me Crazy has secured its place among the most talked-about productions of the season. With reviews from The Indiependent and Theatre Village, alongside acclaim from British Theatre Guide, Broadway Baby, Lothian Life, and The Real Chris Sparkle, the show has been hailed as both artistically daring and socially urgent. Its extensive media coverage—from The Wee Review to Three Weeks Edinburgh and beyond—underscores Olivia Ormond’s arrival as a commanding new voice in contemporary theatre.
