Our theatre productions aim to inspire, engage and challenge prisoners, ex-prisoners and audiences. We believe that it is important that our work plays across prison and mainstream theatre to break down barriers, create access and diversify British theatre.

Productions in prisons are open to any interested prisoners and involve a five week rehearsal process during which participants are expected to demonstrate the attitude and commitment of professional actors. The process culminates in performances to fellow prisoners and an invited audience including the cast’s families and friends.

Ex-prisoner productions provide them with employment and are presented in mainstream theatres as well as non-traditional touring venues including prisons, PRUs, YOTs and YOIs.

Professional productions evolving from the New Writing and Education Programmes explore current themes surrounding criminal justice and aim to challenge audience perceptions.
