Treatment for the insane in the 1850s had changed little since Medieval times. Restraint - the tying down or shackling of patients to their beds or their cell walls - was commonplace.
This is the story of two doctors working within the criminal wing of Bethlem Asylum. Doctors Charles Hood and George Haydon strive separately for alternatives to the medieval horrors of restraint, but are united in their abhorrence of such institutionalised brutality.
Note: This production contains challenging themes.
