The film Sing Sing is about how a group of prisoners used art and specially theatre to reclaim their humanity and learn how to care for and love other men and show it. It’s fantastic. Reminded me of the kind of great work @GeeseTheatre@CeoGeese do in our criminal justice system. It’s gaining universal acclaim- 98% approval on @RottenTomatoes https://t.co/RJJDdPPO99
Projects currently happening in HMP Hewell and HMP New Hall and some development work for a new project with our friends @YourOldChina in which we will be taking their brand new performance, #PleaseDoNotTouch, into prison. #prisontheatre#appliedtheatre
