I was cast in this show while attending the University of Southern Indiana. I was cast as the character; David. The young man that was convicted at the age 18. This is a very powerful play that share the lives of six people that was wrongly accussed. I recommend reading and going to see this show.
Telling the story of these people was very difficult; because I became one with this character and all the emotions erupted from me. I never knew I could cry on spot; I wanted the audience to feel More...

Play #2 of the 1-per-week marathon. It has some good monologues, but I didn't like it overall. It is about the prison system and the likelihood of minorities being convicted wrongly.

I read this in my political theater class and then I drove all the way up to Logan in one of the worst snow storms I'd ever experienced to see it performed. Worth it.

Beautiful, you must read Living Justice though right afterwards, it is the book about the writing of the play.

Powerful stories; I saw the play in NYC. This was also research for my novel A GOOD CONVICTION.

The more testimonial plays I read, the less I like them. I think there's a reason drama was developed in the history of civilization. If there wasn't a demand for it, we would all watch Court TV and go exclusively to trials for our entertainment.
