Description
‘I dance in the horror of grief.’ Three men at Woodhill prison are dead. Their families demand answers. This is a call to arms about the crisis facing prisons. Gut-punching choreography and unflinching beats shine a light on the hidden story of HMP Woodhill. Lyrically told in their own words, three families investigate what happened to their boys. What they discover is so haunting, it turns their world upside down. An explosive true story by multi-award-winning LUNG and The North Wall. ***** ‘Brave and astutely political’ (WhatsOnStage on Trojan Horse) **** ‘Long live LUNG’ (The Stage on Who Cares)Please note that while all media gallery content is provided by verified members of the event, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society does not review or approve this content before it is posted.

To say this is a powerful and impactful piece would be an understatement. The dancers are all incredible and I left feeling both incredibly hollow but also full of rage and passion to join their fight. Such an important piece and it was a joy and pleasure to be able to see it.
