We are your Brother, Your Sister, Your Mother, your Father, the man across the street.

Wooden racks filled with Suitcases. Men’son the left, Women’s on the right. Labelled and covered with layers of birds droppings. A secret history, untouched for many years. The Miskin Theatre lifts the lid on the real life stories of the forgotten patients of Willard State Hospital, to share the emotional stories and poignant memories from The Lives They Left Behind.

Thanks: Lucy Briers for all her support, guidance and sense of humour. The team at The Miskin Theatre Dartford for all their help and support. NWK College for funding the project.
