The Unravelling Fantasia of Miss H

Stitched-up Theatre’s new contemporary opera by soprano Red Gray and experimental pianist Sarah Nicholls.

It’s 1837. Piano mistress Mary Frances Heaton is committed to Wakefield Pauper Lunatic Asylum after confronting Doncaster’s authorities. This contemporary music and performance piece chronicles Mary’s life-long struggle of telling her story to the outside world, and is based on embroidered samplers which were discovered in the asylum years later.
