Saturday, October 19th // SHAKESPEARE BEHIND BARS (2005) // Directed by Hank Rogerson // Running time: 90 minutes // Take Shakespeare’s final play The Tempest with its violent seas, windswept island, crucial connection to nature, and underlying theme of forgiveness, and bring it into a prison, the ultimate venue of confinement. The result is an extraordinary story about the creative process and the power of art to heal and redeem–in a place where the very act of participation in theatre is a human triumph and a means of personal liberation.
