Shakespeare in jail
4 May 2024
Warning: Spoilers
I heard about Caesar Must Die awhile ago, and only now have I finally managed to watch it. It's kind of like a play within a film within a prison, and all credit to the directors for inspiring the real-life prisoners in their efforts to bring Shakespeare's Julius Caesar to a prison audience, and much of the film charts their rehearsals that are entwined with their philosophy of life behind bars.

I'm not sure how often the prisoners put on a Shakespeare play, but they were very passionate about it, and the wild audience applause was encouraging. Anyway, maybe there are prisons around the world that can put on plays.
