But hours before I saw it, & because it was born of work done with prisoners, it was the subject of a trashing by a Tory MSP in a certain newspaper which questioned its CS funding. These people ought to get out more, engage with the arts and ask themselves what they think rehabilitation looks like.

I was lucky enough to see the incredible @agiantonthebridge.bsky.social last night. It was a nuanced, thrilling production devised, written and performed by mega talented writers & musicians including Liam Hurley, Jo Mango and Louis Abbott, and it has already earned glowing reviews. mfl
