The dramatic true story of the 1942 fire at Seacliff Mental Hospital comes to Te Papa next week. The musical, Seacliff: Demise of Ward 5 was written by New Zealand’s Got Talent winner Renee Maurice. Thirty seven women were killed in the blaze which was the worst in the country’s history until the Ballantyne’s fire. Next week is the 75th anniversary of the fire, and the musical is being accompanied by an exhibition about Seacliff.
