How do you restart your life on £47? Released from prison, five women battle to start over again, and hope comes from an unlikely place… Through a rehabilitation scheme, the women have three weeks to put together a catwalk show for some of the biggest names in fashion, whilst living under the constant threat of going back to prison. Some are struggling to face the future, some struggle to face the past, but all of them face the challenge of a lifetime.
Shortlisted for a Musical Theatre Network Award, this musical was created by Ruth Cobbin with music by Shonagh Murray.
