Subject: Shakespeare Behind Bars
Colleagues:
I know that many of you are familiar with Shakespeare Behind Bars, the
prison program in Kentucky featured in a documentary film a few years
ago. The program continues, and this year the men performed Macbeth. I
had the privilege of attending this and the plays of the two previous
years.
Here is an article about the Macbeth production:

And here is a slide show with audio comments from four of the men involved:

The audio commentary serves as a great update to the movie.
