A new play from the writer of Fringe First winning England & Son, Ed Edwards and Mark Thomas tell a tale of freedom, revolution and messy love.

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. He discovers: the revolution is not dead, just sleeping.
