About
Why did Ireland historically have a hugely disproportionate number of institutionalised psychiatric patients compared to other countries globally?
How do we confront a difficult past that took place all around us as we try to forge a new future?
The Asylum Workshop is a new documentary play by playwright Colin Murphy (The Treaty, A Day in May, Inside the GPO, Bailed Out!) about the history of the Grangegorman mental hospital in Dublin’s north inner city.
