A "provocative" new play will be showing at a medieval city venue in May. 

Kiss Marry Kill, a new prison drama by theatre company Dante or Die, is being performed at The Great Hospital in Norwich from May 16 to May 19. 

Described as "an electrifying and intimate story of forbidden love," the play is inspired by real-life events and follows the story of Jay and Paul as they go from serving life sentences for homophobic murders to falling in love.
