5 Fishermen. £53 million of cocaine. An ongoing fight for justice

In 2011, five fishermen on the Isle of Wight(Jamie Green, Jon Beere, Daniel Payne,Scott Birtwistle & Zoran Dresic) were sentenced to a total of 104 years for conspiracy to import £53m worth of cocaine.They have always professed their innocence.

Inspired by the wildly popular Guardian Today in Focus 6-part podcast series of the same name, Liam Patrick Harrison’s stageplay launches a detailed and rich theatrical investigation into the men’s tragic downfall

Through spectacular storytelling, verbatim accounts, inventive stagecraft, song and islanders humour, the show delves into subjects of classical & contemporary smuggling, deteriorating coastal communities, immigration and folklore interwoven through this ancient profession.
