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: the revolution is not dead. It’s just sleeping. 

A new play from the writer of Fringe First winning England & Son and A Political History of Smack & Crack, Ed Edwards and Mark Thomas tell a tale of freedom, revolution and messy love. Directed by Charlotte Bennett. 

A co-production between Paines Plough, Live Theatre, Theatre Royal Plymouth and Ellie Keel Productions, in association with Synergy Theatre Project.
