In 1850s Glasgow, Lucy Fletcher takes up a Governess position at Gartnavel Asylum but soon finds her life starting to unravel as her empathy comes up against the confines of the institution. With a text by Sìne Harris based on her ancestor’s childhood diaries, which recount growing up in the asylum as the daughter of its renowned director, and set to a live synth-rock score, Gartnavel traces the beginnings of Scottish psychiatry and its implications for the health of the nation.
