“Campaigning theatre is reimagined with astonishing force”
The Guardian

Three men at Woodhill prison are dead. The families demand answers. What they discover is so haunting, it turns their world upside down.

Pushing the form of documentary theatre and dance, Woodhill is an explosive true story by multi-award-winning LUNG about three families whose loved ones died in custody at HMP Woodhill prison.

Drawn from the first-hand testimonies of those families left behind, Woodhill weaves their voices with gut punching choreography. It’s a story about institutional failure, bereavement, and the pursuit of justice, exposing the negligence and injustice embedded within the system.
