Ordinary Decent Criminal at North Wall Arts Centre

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.
