The Standard Short Long Drop

Direct from the Edinburgh Fringe where it was called “masterfully crafted” by the Fringe Review, The Standard Short Long Drop is a thrilling and moving exploration of class, integrity and unlikely friendship, framed by the harrowing Victorian criminal justice system.

A young man, Ludley, is condemned to death but his fate takes an unexpected twist when he is offered a stay of execution under one condition: he must serve as the hangman for his mysterious older cellmate, Alistair.

This astounding new play by Rachel Garnet (Starcrossed) asks if it is possible to be a just man in an unjust world.
