It's 1837. Piano mistress Mary Frances Heaton is committed to Wakefield Pauper Lunatic Asylum after confronting Doncaster's authorities. This contemporary music and performance piece chronicles Mary's life-long struggle of telling her story to the outside world, and is based on embroidered samplers which were discovered in the asylum years later.
