Synopsis: | a cry from the conscience of a lawyer who made a living representing the rights of the criminally insane. Playwright/lyricist Denis Woychuk is a former lawyer who represented the rights of mental patients for more than ten years in the '80s and '90s, working out of Kirby Forensic Psychiatric Center, a maximum security hospital in New York. This musical is actually a dark, symbolic treatment of his 1996 autobiographical book, Attorney for the Damned (The Free Press), in which he confessed, 'I live with the painful knowledge that I am somehow complicit in the horrible acts some of my clients commit after I ease their legal constraints and help them get released'." The show is staged as a rock concert. It tells the story of a young, idealistic, woman lawyer named Skyhorse, who works in a big firm but wants to help widows, orphans, and the poor. Her boss assigns her, pro bono, to represent two destitute mental patients at the maximum security hospital for the criminally insane. | |||||
