Release explores the challenges of life after a prison term
ICON Theatre Company present their Edinburgh Fringe hit Release at The Courtyard on June 23.
Created through a two year development process of interviews, research and site visits with prisoners, ex-offenders, hostel managers and probation officers, it explores the lives of three prisoners in their first few months after release.
Following the three as they attempt to reconnect with the people and remnants of the life they left behind, Release fuses high energy physical theatre, an original score and mixed media to offer an insight into just how hard it is to go straight – two-thirds of UK prisoners re-offend within two years.
