A GIANT ON THE BRIDGE (2026)
Devised by Jo Mango, Liam Hurley with the Distant Voices Community
Award-winning gig-theatre performed by Louis Abbott (Admiral Fallow), Kim Grant (Raveloe), Dave Hook (Solareye, Stanley Odd), Jo Mango and Jill O’Sullivan.
Every year in Scotland thousands of people return home from prison to an uncertain future. A Giant on the Bridge reveals the intimate human experiences within this prison-homecoming journey, in an unflinching narrative-gig which fuses acoustic songwriting, Scottish hip hop & original storytelling.
Five of Scotland’s leading musicians explore identity, family, community, restoration, injustice – and the pulsing heartbeat within these hidden stories.
Devised by musician Jo Mango and award-winning theatre-maker Liam Hurley with research by Phil Crockett Thomas. Originally developed with the Distant Voices Community – people from across the criminal justice system.
