What is The Standard Short Long Drop about?

A cell room is the unlikely setting for a blossoming friendship, especially when one of the inmates is condemned to kill the other.

York, 1885 and a young man is sentenced to death. The boy, Lewis "Ludley" Thornhill, has resigned himself to his fate when he’s offered a stay of execution. His luck has seemingly turned around, when he finds out the condition of the deal. He must serve as the hangman for his cellmate, Alistair. Over their last days together, ‘Ludley’ tries to uncover Alistair's mysterious past, but will his discoveries change his decision to take the execution deal?

Cast and creatives of The Standard Long Drop

The Standard Short Long Drop is written by Rachel Garnet and directed by Natasha Rickman. The lighting design is by Mark Dymock, with sound design & composition by Lex Kosanke.
