Prey For Me is honoured to be partnering with the groundbreaking charity Appeal on a special evening of fundraising and deep conversation.
After they helped exonerate an innocent man who spent 17 years in jail for a crime he did not commit, Appeal were a huge part of the writer’s motivation for completing the final version of her script.

The night will feature a half hour performance of Tuula Costelloe’s soul-baring, BBC shortlisted play Prey For Me, followed by a Q&A with the co-director of Appeal, where we will be asking ‘Can art move the needle towards justice?’

The Q&A will be followed by a reception in the bar, where guests can unwind to piano music with drinks, food and more conversation.

All proceeds raised will go towards Appeal’s casework fighting wrongful convictions and their advocacy demanding a fair, accountable justice system.

Overview

You have been granted access to HMP Byron. A Category A prison once so infamous for its
brutality, its security system is now run by an impenetrable digital network. A strict harmony
is sustained, and the prison is peaceful.
Until the day a terrifying cyberattack changes everything. Every single cell is unlocked, every
boundary is crossed, and everybody is brought down to the same level. The general
population and the enhanced wing become one.

Prey For Me is the story of what happens when nobody can be protected anymore.
Join pack leader Sawyer on his vigilante quest to track down the notorious men of Wing 99
and get true justice for their victims.
Join the hunt for the greatest trophy in the prison – the man who let down the country –
Lewis. Join a famous footballer, a disgraced former officer, and a pitiful outcast as they do
whatever it takes to make it through the most terrifying day of their lives. Join 600 inmates
turned predators as they discover Officer Bates, the only surviving guard, and the only female in the building.

Find out what you would do when they come for you.

From a script that reached the top 1% of the BBC Writersroom Open Call, this is a work of fiction that dares the audience to be on the right side of history.
