A Giant on the Bridge
Unflinching and spellbinding gig-theatre featuring Louis Abbott (Admiral Fallow), Kim Grant (Raveloe), Dave Hook (Solareye, Stanley Odd), Jo Mango, and Jill O’Sullivan.
“Do you think cos I’ve been in jail all I know is how to hurt people?”
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 a compelling narrative gig that fuses acoustic songwriting, Scottish hip hop, and original storytelling.
Five of Scotland’s leading contemporary musicians explore identity, family, community, systems, restoration, and injustice — uncovering the pulsing heartbeat within these hidden stories.
Devised by singer-songwriter Jo Mango and award-winning theatre-maker Liam Hurley, with research by Phil Crockett Thomas. Developed through the work of the Distant Voices Community, as part of a research project with people across the criminal justice system.
Supported by Creative Scotland Open Fund.
