Ed H. Edwards

Meet recovering addict Frankie, played by renowned political comedian Mark Thomas. Frankie’s just been sentenced to three and a half years in gaol for dealing drugs. When he gets there, none of his fellow convicts are what they seem. And with his typewriter, his activist soul, and his sore lack of a right hook, he somehow finds his way into their troubled hearts, and they into his. In the most unexpected of places, he discovers that the revolution is not dead. It’s just sleeping.

written by Ed Edwards and directed by Cressida Brown “A nation that devours another will one day devour itself“. Set when The Great Devouring comes home, England & Son is a one-man play written specifically for the award-winning political comedian Mark Thomas by award-winning playwright Ed Edwards (The Political History of Smack and Crack, Paines Plough’s Roundabout, Soho and UK tour). This is the first play Mark has ever performed in that he has not written himself.
