Is it ever justifiable to take a life?

 

At HMP Holloway, five women are awaiting their execution on the rope of the famous hangman Mr Pierrepoint. How did these women end up in the condemned cell? Will their executions bring justice or revenge? And what toll does the process take on the executioner?

 

Set over a period of 50 years, 'The Long Drop' considers our attitudes to capital punishment, murder and redemption.

 

Age recommendation: 14+

 

As a charity we rely on donations to help cover the cost of delivering our programme of exhibitions, events, our community activities such as our Dementia Café, Arts Award, Saturday Club, Tots Tuesdays, Start With Art, as well as supporting our core costs. We ask you to support The Corn Hall with a donation, so that we can continue to be a creative community hub for Diss. Whatever the donation, anything from £1 to £10,000, is support that The Corn Hall didn't have until you very kindly gave it to us. We offer you a very warm thank you.

 

We want to make your visit to The Corn Hall as enjoyable and comfortable as possible, so we have provided you with detailed information regarding accessibility in all areas of the theatre. If you have any questions, or to register on our Access Scheme to enable accessible seating, discounts and companion tickets, please do not hesitate to contact the Box Office, between 10am and 4pm Monday to Saturday on 01379 652241 or email [email protected] We will soon be working with Nimbus Disability, a Social Enterprise that has received international recognition for its Access Card Scheme.
