Rupture

Written by Catrina McHugh MBE 
Directed by Rachel Glover 
Film Directed by Katja Roberts
Co-created with the women from HMP Low Newton 

Rupture is a compelling one-woman show inspired by the real-life experiences of mothers in prison. In a split-second decision, Destiny finds herself on the roof. She can see fireworks. She hopes her kids can see them too. This is the story of one woman who takes back control.  Rupture delves into the harsh realities of prison life and the unique challenges faced by incarcerated mothers. 

The award-winning company behind Key Change (New York Times Critics’ Pick) and Sugar on BBC iPlayer, bring you Rupture. Created with women from HMP Low Newton, and based on true-life experiences, Rupture is their story about being mothers in prison. 

“Absolutely incredible. Powerful and insightful. I feel I know so much more about the experiences of mothers in prison. As always there is a spirit of fight, togetherness and love.”  Audience Member
