At Unlock Drama CIC, we’re tackling this problem head-on.

Our applied theatre projects build confidence, interpersonal skills, emotional literacy and motivation — helping people unlock their potential, engage in rehabilitation, and reduce reoffending.

We believe rehabilitation isn’t just about individuals.

It’s about creating safer communities, saving public money, and giving people hope.

Rehabilitation is everyone’s business.
