The Insanity of Mary Girard tells the haunting true story of a Philadelphia woman committed to an asylum by her husband in 1790. Inside, ghostly furies from her past accuse and torment her as memory and reality blur. The play exposes the cruelty and psychological abuse of early mental institutions, revealing how women could be silenced and labelled mad for defying societal norms. This gripping drama confronts injustice, power and the devastating cost of being unheard.
