Where love is your only escape ... 1911. Inside an asylum at the edge of the Yorkshire moors, where men and women are kept apart by high walls and barred windows, there is a ballroom vast and beautiful. For one bright evening every week they come together and dance. When John and Ella meet it is a dance that will change two lives forever. Set over the heatwave summer of 1911, the end of the Edwardian era, 'The ballroom' is a tale of unlikely love and dangerous obsession, of madness and sanity, and of who gets to decide which is which.
