A must-see at @edfringe - A Giant on the Bridge at @AssemblyRoxy. Was deeply moved by the powerful storytelling & beautiful music, building a metaphorical bridge, reminding that those who enter prison aren't just numbers, they are people with stories that deserve to be visible.
Listen to us talk about the show and play a song on BBC R4 tomorrow!
The band ventured to Dynamic Earth yesterday to record something rather exciting 🎙️🗺️
Tune in to @BBCRadio4 tomorrow at 6.15pm to hear a bit of A Giant on the Bridge on the Loose Ends show!

Very emotional to see pictures of this standing ovation yesterday from a beautiful crowd @giantonbridge We still have 10 shows to go if you want to catch it too. 📷 @KTProducing
Such beautiful words about our show from the legend that is @criminology 🙏❤️ Thanks for coming! Xx
Basically if you can get to Edinburgh and haven’t gone to @giantonbridge you really aren’t doing this right. Trust me. Treat yourself. This is as good as this world gets

I really liked Liam Hurley and Jo Mango's A Giant On The Bridge - a propulsive and profound gig-theatre storytelling show about the emotional turmoil of leaving prison, with a huge heart.
4-star review @TheStage here. It's @AssemblyRoxy until August 18.

Loved @giantonbridge this morning. A co-created piece of theatre about the prison homecoming journey. More gig than gig theatre but no doubting that these are not only 5 incredible musicians but they’re also incredible storytellers.
