Set truth free

A theatrical meditation on truth and the imprisonment of Julian Assange, as seen through the eyes of very different women who work as volunteers in a tea bar at HMPBelmarsh, London.

Beneath their feet runs a Neolithic pathway. Does violent primitive justice and magical thinking, still permeate the walls within England’s most notorious prison and justice system?


Prisoner at the World’s End will also be livestreamed on Nov 24, Friday, 7.30pm. Livestream playback will be available for 72 hours after the show.


To acknowledge International Day Of the Imprisoned Writer on Wednesday November 15, Prisoner At The World’s End would like to donate all their proceeds from this performance to the Assange Campaign.

Content Warning: Descriptions of violence, war, torture and terrorism, political and religious statements, and coarse language.
