2023 Edinburgh Fringe
Not Our Crime, Still Our Sentence
A vital new comedy play by Glaswegian playwright Mikael Philippos about the real struggles, judgement and most importantly, laughs, a family affected by the incarceration of a loved one experience. Four years into her husband's 16-year prison sentence, Dawn struggles to navigate her family through their new "normal". With two teenage kids, a comical best friend, puberty, washings, sex, Universal Credit and the price of fabric softener going through the roof - who's really serving time? Inspired by Mikael's life, this is a story about family, friendship, compassion, and finding joy in difficult situations.

EdFringe Talk: Not Our Crime, Still Our Sentence
"As an artist (in my case for this year, a writer), it can be difficult to dedicate time to your craft, especially as a working-class person. With inflation, rising costs, rent increases, loss in business' resulting in loss of jobs etc., finding time to focus on the work you love can be incredibly difficult, and at some points, impossible."
