'It's emotional, raw and a powerful dramatisation based on real-life stories,' says researcher.
Lead researcher Dr Laura Abbott said she hoped the play would highlight an area of prison life which most people do not know about
Ms Kaur Bhatti, who also writes for films, TV and radio, said: "Through this play, we shed light on their resilience, their pain, and their hope - stories that are too often silenced within the confines of institutions." She described pregnant inmates as "invisible women and when I spoke to mothers separated from their babies, they are even more invisible".
Dr Abbott said watching the play in rehearsal was "very emotional for everybody" and "felt very authentic".
