something is being done with the site

and that, you know, there's areas

of it that are being looked after.

And people are happy to come to

work here and things like that.

Yeah.

EMMA:
I'm an incubator, so the character

kind of is a nurse who has, like,

babies in incubators, which is a bit crazy.

So, that's what I'm trying to go

for... like, the crazy nurse thing.

INTERVIEWER:
Do you know

much about the nurses

that used to live here?

EMMA:
No.

I'd like to though.

It's an interesting subject.

Creepy.

MARY:
I used to live in

that room just up there.

It had its own little

access down to a bathroom.

It was pretty cool.

I was really pleased that it was being

put to some decent use, you know.

And I thought it was sort of appropriate

that they'd picked sort of a remote

place that had sort of

some history like that.

But in other ways, we're trying

to de-stigmatise mental health

and here they are sticking

up these homicidal killers...

...in an old mental health

institution. You know.

(THUNDER)

(SCREAMING)

SPEAKER:
Can you let me out?

INTERVIEWER:
And what was the character

that you were playing in the jail cell?

SPEAKER:
Just like a crazy person who

got locked up there for eating their,

like, friend and killing

them and stuff. Yeah.

You know, I just didn't want to be there.

I like doing it, that's for sure, but,

it kind of scares me knowing that people...

Like, the old people that used to

be here, part of the hospital,

would act like that and

it's like making fun of them.

But, you know, if they were

actually here, as ghosts, ghosts,

then they'd probably be like,

"Why is she acting crazy?" Yeah.

DEBORAH:
It's interesting to have a maze,

a physical maze here.

With madness, what madness

takes from you is your essence

and you're always trying

to find your way back.

And it is like a maze.

So that's pertinent I

suppose, in some ways,

that they're going to put one here.

There was so much distress

and so much misery here,

and brutality in lots of

ways that people experienced.

To see them mocked in any way is upsetting.

And that's upsetting for me to think

that they would be mocked in any way.

And also that idea that...

...people who were here

were violent and dangerous,

which couldn't be further from the truth,

sort of fitting into that stereotype

that people who experience any sort

of mental illness or any sort of mental

distress are fundamentally dangerous.

(SCREAMS AND CRIES)

(SHOUTING IN DISTRESS)

(INCOHERENT SHOUTING)

(GRUNTING)

INTERVIEWER:
What have you got there?

CAMERON:
A straitjacket

that I ordered from America.

(SCREAMING)

CAMERON IN CHARACTER: Things
