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)
