An Asylum On Every Corner

by James Michalos

Production Design

NOT IN MY BACK YARD is the cry of the neighbouring residents of the "institution" of leafy Ashford Dell, a home for the mentally 'not-quite-right'. Marjory (Sonya Raymond) is an obsessive-compulsive housewife cast off by her philandering husband, Samuel's (Jody Tranter) sister has found handling his schizophrenia more than she can manage and William's (Kristopher Milnes) bi-polar disorder has left him swinging desperately between mania and depression.

Marjory, Samuel and William find themselves in the care of Doctor Leonard Zander (Jack Reid), the megalomaniac son of the founder of Ashford Dell, Nurse Fletcher (Felicity Russell), an insecure woman whose obession with the Doctor is tempered only by her obsession with her weight and Doctor Gerrison (Simone Craddock), a newcomer, whose therapeutic goal is the liberation of the residents of the home back into the bosom of the community.
