Through The Gap

A dynamic performance that aims to explore the stigma associated with women offenders. Over the past year this all-female company has been working in association with York St John University Prison Partnership Project, where through the devising process, stories were gathered from women with lived experience of the criminal justice system.

This hard-hitting and visceral performance aims to explore what it means to be a woman in prison, from losing their identity to looking towards the future.

The York Theatre Royal graduate prize is an annual award that is presented to a final year student or group of students studying Theatre at York St John University, giving them the opportunity to develop their work with mentoring from our team.
