“Prison Dialogues consists of interweaving male and female dialogues set in the everyday of prison. Surreal, sweary and fun, the play features two men and three women bantering their way through a playful exploration of life’s existential questions.”

The work is inspired by Mark’s observations, over-hearings and interactions while working as co-director of the Penned Up prison literature festivals, recognised in The Big issue’s list of Top 100 Changemakers in 2020.

The play is performed by Leann O’Kasi, Sarah J Lewis, Araba Jane, Connor Mills and Sonny Jaiteh, with incidental music by composer Peter Copley.

Tickets: £10 advance/£12 door. Details and tickets online from www.leweslivelit.co.uk
