Lauren, Kimberly and Steph talk about our Monologues, Verses, Sonnets: Bringing Words to Life project.

The original monologues and sonnets written by Novus learners in prisons have been brought to life by a cast of well-known actors, alongside students from the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts (LIPA) and University of Lancashire (ULAN).

Throwback to when Liverpool legend Ricky Tomlinson visited us and performed the famous "To Be Or Not To Be" speech from Hamlet on our Cockpit Theatre stage! 💀

Ricky will return for a heartfelt and hilarious Q&A with very special guests Sue Johnston on Fri 10 July and Jimmy McGovern on Sat 11 July.
