The Insanity of Mary Girard is
the real-life story of a Philadelphia woman who spent the last 25 years
of her life in a mental institution. In 1790, Mary Girard is committed
to an asylum. After she became pregnant by another man, her husband had
her declared legally insane. Now, she sits in a chair as the "furies"
dance around and impersonate people from her past. By the end of this
haunting and highly theatrical piece, Mary has grown rather convincingly
into her diagnosis.
