Corinna Seeds is the founder of Stirrabout Theatre and a force to be reckoned with. In this bonus episode of Stages of Justice, I share my full conversation with Corinna, where she reflects on her experience establishing Britain’s first company created to bring theatre into prisons. Founded in 1974 and disbanded in 1983 due to funding cuts and a hostile arts climate, Corinna shares some of the challenges, surprises and excitement of making theatre in prisons against all the odds.
