Dante or Die will perform an intimate story of love and redemption, Kiss Marry Kill, at the deconsecrated St Peter's church, Hallé St Peter's, in Ancoats, Manchester.
Inspired by true events, this dramatic recreation from the award-winning site-sensitive specialists reimagines the first same sex marriage to take place in a UK prison in 2015.
Jay and Paul are both serving life sentences for homophobic murders. Incredibly, they fall in love and seek permission to marry.
Daphna Attias and Terry O’Donovan co-direct Dauda Ladejobi as Jay and Graham Mackay Bruce as Paul, with Morgan Archer (Chaplain and ensemble), live music from UK Rapper Lady Lykez as Kerry and ensemble, Frank Skully (Governor and ensemble) and Dean Statham (Ali and ensemble).
The Lowry will present Kiss Marry Kill at Hallé St Peter’s from Friday 10 to Sunday 12 May 2024.
