Based on the true story of one of the richest and most
powerful men in 18th century America and his young wife, The Insanity of
Mary Girard provides a chilling glimpse into a time when husbands held
absolute power over their wives, a medieval system was used to treat the
mentally ill and wealth and power could be abused in terrifying and almost
unimaginable ways. This innovative and highly dramatic portrayal of a
perfectly sane woman cast into a mental institution for the rest of her
life will leave you speechless and spellbound. |
