Enter the asylum room of forgotten 19th century agricultural labourer, poet and visionary John Clare – where madness, laughter and genius combine. Where nothing is quite as you might expect.
In this powerful immersive theatrical experience, the walls of confinement melt away as Clare’s memories, imagination and haunting visions of a world to come are brought vividly to life in rhyme, song, words and beats.
