Not Our Crime, Still Our Sentence
August
2023
A vital new comedy play by Glaswegian playwright Mikael Philippos and Under the Rug Theatre, about the real struggles, judgement, and most importantly, laughs a family affected by incarceration experience.
Four years into her husband’s sixteen-year prison sentence, a mother is still trying to navigate her family through their new normal.
With two teenage kids, a comical best friend, social workers, puberty, washings, sex, universal credit, and the price of fabric softener going through the roof– who’s really serving time?
This is a story about family, friendship, compassion, and finding joy in hard situations.
