The Government Inspector
4:41am Jun 4
As the prison season draws to a close, I would like to make one last request for anyone who hasn’t yet seen either Kiss of the Spiderwoman or IRON, to book your tickets now. Kiss is on tonight, Thursday 9th July and Saturday 11th July both performances commencing at 7.45pm...

Take two strongly opposing characters: Molina (gay, submissive) and Valentin (revolutionary, macho). Place them in a cramped and de-humanising prison cell. Throw in a little storytelling for flavouring. And stir...
Fortunately, it’s not quite as sinister as it sounds. The cast of Kiss of the Spider Woman and Iron took a recent opportunity to visit the prison cells at Steelhouse Lane Police Station in Birmingham city centre...
