The Outsiders Project have begun their southwest wide tour of our prisons, this year their performance is entitled ‘Dad’ and is already making an impact upon our learners.

They have already bought the house down at HMP Portland and HMP Guys Marsh, with performances at HMP Dartmoor and HMP Channings Wood taking place next week.

Their drama performance takes place in the morning session and the key themes of the performance are taken into a creative writing session in the afternoon.

The Outsiders project runs through until September, and this year we are running a writing competition alongside the workshops, open to all our learners, the deadline for submissions is in October.

The top 10 entries will be made into a book and each of our libraries will hold copies.
