Mother is in prison. Daughter has come to visit. Closely watched by security, they have one hour to undo the damage of eleven years of separation.
Surrender explores what it takes to survive in a punishing and dysfunctional penal system when your child is on the outside.
A collaboration between writer Sophie Swithinbank and director/performer Phoebe Ladenburg, the play opened at the Arcola Theatre, London, in 2024, before playing at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, where it won a Summerhall Lustrum Award.
Sophie Swithinbank’s other plays include Even in Arcadia (longlisted for the Verity Bargate Award) and Bacon (Finborough Theatre, London, Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Bristol Old Vic and SoHo Playhouse, New York). It won the Tony Craze Award, four Off West End Awards and the Peggy Ramsay Foundation/ Film4 Award, and received universal critical acclaim.
