Not Our Crime, Still Our Sentence


  • The Gilded Balloon 3 Chambers Street Edinburgh, Scotland, EH8 9YL United Kingdom (map)

A vital new comedy play by Glaswegian playwright Mikael Philippos about the real struggles, judgement and most importantly, laughs, a family affected by the incarceration of a loved one experience. Four years into her husband's 16-year prison sentence, Dawn struggles to navigate her family through their new "normal". With two teenage kids, a comical best friend, puberty, washings, sex, Universal Credit and the price of fabric softener going through the roof – who's really serving time? Inspired by Mikael's life, this is a story about family, friendship, compassion, and finding joy in difficult situations.
