The Insanity of Mary Girard

Written by Lanie Robertson
Directed by Rod Oden

Inspired by the true story of a woman silenced by history, The Insanity of Mary Girard is a haunting and deeply moving theatrical experience that explores the devastating consequences of power, injustice, and the fragile line between truth and madness.

In 1790 Philadelphia, Mary Girard is committed to an asylum after her husband has her declared legally insane following a scandal that threatens his reputation. Confined for the remaining twenty-five years of her life, Mary relives the memories that shaped her fate as mysterious figures known as the "Furies" transform into the people from her past, blurring the boundaries between memory, reality, and delusion.

Bold, visually striking, and emotionally unforgettable, The Insanity of Mary Girard is a powerful examination of the voices history chose not to hear—and the resilience of one woman determined to be remembered.
