Developed in part at Lighthouse as part of its innovative SANCTUARY artist development residency, through song and storytelling Louise puts the myth of ‘The Lady with the Lamp’ under the spotlight and explores Florence Nightingale’s work as a pioneering statistician who used data to call for government accountability, demanding equal healthcare for all.
