Project Description
A live 30 minute theatre performance, followed by a facilitated workshop, Revolving Door follows the journey of 30 year old Michael – a prolific offender. After being sentenced to yet another stint inside, Michael’s not phased… “I can do four months standing on me head!” But when on/off girlfriend, & mother to his young son, Kate gives him an ultimatum, can Michael break the cycle & make a change?
Specifically designed for short term male offenders, Revolving Door promotes engagement with support services, through exploring issues surrounding alcohol misuse, responsibility, employability, life skills, & relationships.
Co-developed with the NPP Team, men in prison & their families, REVOLVING DOOR has engaged with over 3000 people in prison and their family members, & the wider community across the UK.
“…original, realistic and emotive, generating brilliant discussion & real reflection.”

“It was so powerful. Excellent acting which made me feel it was real. It made me really emotional…thinking of home and how I affect them through my lack of responsibility. It brought a lot home.”
– Prisoner, aged 35, HMP Forrest Bank
“I never thought about the problems of people I leave behind on the outside. I should. It was brilliant. So empowering.”
– Prisoner, aged 39, HMP Preston
