ABOUT

Release is a new play conceived by Blown Fuse Theatre, written by Kate Austen with poetry by Sadie Davidson.

Developed in response from workshops with women with lived experience of the criminal justice system (via Advance Charity), Release asks if the UK prison system is working for women.

In January 2024, Blown Fuse Theatre entered into a devising workshop of the play kindly supported by Harlow Playhouse.
Directed by Michelle Barrington with Dramaturgy from Eleanore Frances, a cast of 5 immensely talented actors brought the play to life.

In March 2024, the first act of Release will showcase in a rehearsed reading at Metal Southend, and a full work-in-progress performance at Harlow Playhouse.
