Special Event! Shakespeare Behind Bars
Shakespeare Behind Bars: an intriguing title that moved me to attend a showing at the Boston Film Festival in the fall of 2005. There was a full house at the weekday matinee at the Brattle Theatre. That autumn afternoon, Shakespeare Behind Bars took the audience members, most of whom were either on their feet, or weeping, or both at the end of the film, on a year-long journey with the Shakespeare Behind Bars theatre troupe.
Actors’ Shakespeare Project is very fortunate to be sponsoring a showing of this inspiring, funny and moving film on Sunday December 3 at the Brattle Theatre. The Director of the prison program, Curt Tofteland, director of ASP’s forthcoming The Winter’s Tale, will be on hand to talk with the audience. There will also be a performance of the work of the teen-age girls in ASP’s incarcerated Youth Program. This Special Event begins at 11:00 with a light brunch. Ticket sales benefit our Outreach Programs.
