Set in the years following the Strangeways Prison Riot, meet recovering addict Frankie, played by renowned political comedian Mark Thomas as he enters the brave new world of a liberal prison experiment.

None of Frankie’s fellow convicts are what they seem. In the most unexpected of places he discovers that the revolution is not dead. It’s just sleeping.

A brand new play from the writer of the Fringe First winning England & Son and A Political History of Smack & Crack, Ed Edwards reunites with Mark Thomas to tell a tale of freedom, revolution and messy love.

Directed by Paines Plough’s Joint Artistic Director, Charlotte Bennett.
