Waiting for the Out

Premieres 20th August, Thursday

When teacher Dan starts a philosophy class in prison, tensions rise – and his life begins to unravel. Captivating new drama from multi award-winning writer Dennis Kelly and producers SISTER. In Dan’s family, prison life is a tradition. His father, uncle and brother have all been inside. But not Dan. He’s a philosophy teacher. That is until one day, he decides to start teaching philosophy - in prison. Each week, Dan and a group of male inmates explore complex topics. Freedom. Luck. Destiny. Gradually, Dan begins to obsessively worry that he’s morphing into his father. As his personal crisis intensifies, Dan’s actions begin to threaten both his own future – and the future of the very prisoners he teaches.
