Catherine Tate plays both prisoner and jailor in her new Netflix mockumentary-style comedy series Hard Cell, which follows the inmates and staff at a fictional women\u2019s prison.<\/p>\n
Tate takes on multiple roles in the series, including the newly-arrived cheery governor Laura Willis, who decides to stage a musical inside the institution; a male prison guard; and several convicts inside HMP Woldsley.<\/p>\n
The comedy, which was also written and created by Tate, is set over a six-week period where the inmates rehearse a musical directed by former EastEnders star Cheryl Fergison.<\/p>\n
An official synopsis from Netflix says: \u201cRehearsals draw together an oddball collection of women as they find their voices, grow in confidence and strengthen their friendships. Funny yet surprisingly moving, Hard Cell leans into the comical truth of prison life.\u201d<\/p>\n
