From Edinburgh's Fringe to the New York Theater Workshop

Play devised by U.K. female prison inmates is headed to New York.

Let’s start with The Scotsman review, since to qualify at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe for the prestigious Carol Tambor Theatrical Foundation award, a production must receive four or five stars from that daily newspaper’s critics. From the recent four-star write-up:

Devised by the women of HMPYOI Low Newton [prison] near Durham, with the assistance of playwright Catrina McHugh and the cast, Key Change places four women with subtly different experiences of the prison system and their route into it within necessarily close range of one another… The actors shine, whether ripping each other to bits in sharply humorous Geordie tones or slipping into short but spine-tingling balletic sequences, each an oasis amidst the barking and pitiful sniffing around for “gear.”
