A Poetic Historical Drama: In 1935, Taft State Hospital was one of seven psychiatric facilities in the US exclusively for “insane and idiotic negroes.” Attius has been locked up at Taft for over a decade and has found some sense of peace building coffins. When two new patients interrupt his path to survival and ask him to help them escape, Attius dares to dream of a life outside of the confining walls. Terence Anthony writes a moving portrayal that explores mental, spiritual, and physical incarceration.
