'It is a rare play that hits the news with such cruel topicality... Stephenson offers a powerful, illuminating piece of dramatic fiction.'

‘The Long Road’ evolved out of a period of research with prisoners by Synergy Theatre Project, in collaboration with The Forgiveness Project and award-winning playwright Shelagh Stephenson.

Synergy Theatre Project works through theatre with offenders and ex-offenders towards resettlement and rehabilitation whilst placing the wider issues surrounding imprisonment in the public arena. www.synergytheatreproject.co.uk

The Forgiveness Project encourages and empowers people to explore the nature of forgiveness and alternatives to revenge. www.theforgivenessproject.com

The Long Road is also presented with a programme of weekly talks entitled The Criminal Justice System In Crisis, click here for more details.
