Devised and performed by residents of Springhill Prison as actors, musicians and stage management.

The Christmas Got Forgot was a pantomime devised and performed by a group of 11 men at HMP Springhill in December 2022. Led by a creative team of co-directors Jason York & Alessandra Davison, writer Martha Watson Allpress and designer Lauren Connolly, the group worked together for four weeks to create a family show from scratch.

In collaboration with the Irene Taylor Trust, they performed four times to an audience that totalled 150 people, including their own children, families, fellow residents, prison officers and other theatre industry guests.
