Six plays by former and current prisoners.The short plays have all been submitted to the Koestler Trust for their annual competition ‘ Writing for Stage’, which is open to all serving prisoners in the UK and abroad. In contrast, we are also staging two plays by ex-offenders and previous Koestler Trust winners Michael Holland and Dean Stalham, both of whom have successfully built new writing careers since leaving prison. Prose and Cons will be directed and acted by industry professionals.
