Mary & The Matrons

Work:: Mary & The Matrons (S1446870184)

It's the start of the Swinging Sixties, Harold Macmillan says "We've Never Had It So Good" and dauntless Dr Mary Sheridan is on a nationwide inspection tour of "Mental Deficiency Hospitals", the places many learning disabled children lived out their childhoods. It's also the start of the Tricksy Twenty-Twenties, and Millie Moore, a tenacious learning-disabled school leaver, wants to follow her star. Both Mary and Millie know things never work till everyone sings from the same song sheet. Can Mary change the system in time for Millie to get her chance? Six short decades later, we'll find out.
