In 1914, Prestwich County Asylum held 3,000 patients. It provided real care for the mentally ill. In Brechtian style, with songs, dance and drama Telling Lives presents the stories of patients, doctors, nurses; of the mad ideas and hopes they shared, before the First World War shattered more than illusions. | ||||
