Mrs. Packard at Cambridge Multicultural Arts Center

The year is 1861 in Illinois and Elizabeth Packard has just been deemed insane by her husband. Forced into an insane asylum against her will, Elizabeth must fight for her life while also attempting to change a cruel and unjust institutional system. Inspired by true events, Emily Mann's powerful drama, Mrs. Packard, gives a harrowing account of one's woman strength and resilience. Following a critically acclaimed production of The Libertine in 2013, Bridge Rep and Playhouse Creatures join forces once again to bring Mrs. Packard to the Multicultural Arts Center in Cambridge.
