This is the 'outside' stage of the Only Connect theatre group, a charity that works exclusively with prisoners, ex cons and troubled youths to produce pieces of theatre aimed at the hearts and minds of their peers.

Previously their works have been staged only inside prisons, but the company are now putting on public productions, and planning to use this as a staging post to tour their shows round inner city schools.

Expect gritty performances at this theatre and an unusual emotional charge. For performers and audience alike the experience is about more than entertainment.
