Woodhill

LUNG bring Woodhill to Norwich Theatre Royal on Tuesday 10 November, a single performance in the Playhouse. It's a piece of documentary theatre built from the first-hand testimonies of three families who lost sons and brothers to self-inflicted deaths at HMP Woodhill prison. The company weaves verbatim words with choreography by Alex, turning a story of institutional failure, bereavement and the pursuit of justice into a stage piece that exposes the negligence embedded within the system.

It's a heavy subject, and the production doesn't shy away from it. It deals with self-harm, suicide, addiction, racism, child loss and extreme violence, and contains strong language and strobe lighting. The cast — Miah Robinson, Marina Climent and Tyler Brazao — met the Woodhill families during rehearsals, and the work is tied to an active campaign that continues beyond the stage. It's recommended for ages 16 and over.

On the night, the show runs for about 80 minutes with no interval, starting at 7:30pm. Tickets start from £15.90, with performance prices from £21.20. There are concessions for Friends (5% off) and Ambassadors, Supporters, Best Friends and Gold Friends (10% off), and U26s pay £15, with school tickets at £10. You can find the full details and book through the Norwich Theatre Royal website.
