‘Raoul Moat was a callous murderer. Full Stop. End of story’ – David Cameron
On July 1st, 2010, Raoul Moat was released from Durham Prison.
The events of the next few days would leave a man murdered, a police officer blinded, a woman fighting for her life – and spark the biggest manhunt in UK history.
Award-winning writer and director Robert Icke (Oedipus, Player Kings, West End) provides a chilling portrait of a man on the run.
A Royal Court commission, presented with Sonia Friedman Productions.
