Ordinary Decent Criminal

A new play by Mark Thomas.

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

A brand new play from the writer of the Fringe First winning England & Son and A Political History of Smack & Crack, Ed Edwards reunites with Mark Thomas to tell a tale of freedom, revolution and messy love. 

Directed by Paines Plough’s Joint Artistic Director, Charlotte Bennett. Showing at HOME this November.
