Austria, 1945.
World War II is drawing to a close, but RAF signals clerk David Fraser is only just beginning a 112 day sentence at the infamous Glasshouse military prison.
The name alone is enough to have the bravest of soldiers quaking in their boots.
For the prisoners, their stay is an unimaginable nightmare of physical and mental torture.
For the guards, it provides an unrivalled outlet for their own anger and frustration.
It’s not long before Fraser’s defiant attitude begins to merit the unwanted attention of the sadistic prison wardens.
Staff Evans quickly forms a relentless vendetta against Fraser, taking delight in watching him inch ever closer to breaking point.
But following the announcement of Japan’s surrender, will the end of the war come too late for Fraser and his sanity?
Will he be able to survive the psychological torment, physical punishment and endless solitary confinement?
Or will he be just another victim of the Glasshouse?
Based on Allan Campbell McLean’s own 56-day incarceration, ‘The Glasshouse’ is a terrifyingly realistic portrayal of life in a British Military Prison.
