In November 2025, thanks to funding from the Foyle Foundation, we embarked on a two-week tour of our prison performance, Previous. The tour culminated in a rare public performance at Midlands Arts Centre, Birmingham to a packed-out audience.
Previous follows the journey of three men in a prison cell and the stories they tell each other about prison, about their histories, and about their hoped-for futures. It was originally devised in 2008 and this is its third incarnation.
We are grateful to @kategreenphotog for capturing some beautiful images from the performance.

So good – funny, sad, poignant. Incredible to watch the actors transform into other roles so seamlessly.

I absolutely loved it- it was a real privilege to be able to see Geese perform. I thought the quality of the performance was really high- I was mesmerised by the characters. They had me really really laughing- and then stopped me short and made me feel a whole range of emotions.
