Internationally-acclaimed theatre company Dante Or Die brings Kiss Marry Kill, an "intimate story of love and redemption", to the deconsecrated Grade II-listed St Peter's church in the centre of Ancoats, Manchester, from May 10-12.
Inspired by true events, this dramatic recreation from the award-winning, site-sensitive company reimagines the first same-sex marriage that took place in a UK prison, in 2015.
Jay and Paul are both serving life sentences for homophobic murders. They fall in love and seek permission to marry.
Co-commissioned by The Lowry Theatre in Salford, the production is touring to chapels around the UK. Daphna Attias and Terry O’Donovan co-direct Dauda Ladejobi as Jay and Graham Mackay Bruce as Paul. Joining them will be Morgan Archer, UK rapper Lady Lykez, Frank Skully and Dean Statham. The event has immersive sound design and the site-specific production will surround the audience in the private spaces and conversations of a world rarely seen.
