Theatrical adaptation and staging by Michael Hidetoshi Mori

A heartbroken woman embarks on a hauntingly beautiful journey, experiencing the love stories of different people in a desperate search for her lost love.

Is she insane — or just pretending?

10 Days in a Madhouse follows trailblazing journalist Nellie Bly as she fakes madness to be admitted to Blackwell’s Asylum in 1887. Her goal: to uncover the truth about life inside. What she finds instead is a world built to break women — where grief, poverty, and trauma are mistaken for insanity, and where doctors decide who is sane enough to be heard.
