Swithin Fry

Still reeling from his success at Brighton Fringe 2015, "Dear Tim: Appeal Denied" is Swithin Fry's newly-dramatised update on his Death Row penpal Tim Coleman A328139, and Tim’s retrial campaign.

Taking you into Tim’s bleak cell in Ohio, Swithin recreates the moment when four years after being convicted of aggravated murder, Tim receives a letter, someone else admits to being the killer.

That was 14 long years ago; only this year, Tim’s latest appeal was denied. He is allowed just one more.

Poignant, sometimes humourous, Swithin’s true-life story asks, So why is Tim still on Death Row? and suggests some unsettling answers.
