• W334209320 abstract "Shakespeare Behind Dir. Hank Rogerson. A Philomath Films Production, Color. 92 minutes. 2005. Produced by Jilann Spitzmiller. Written by Hank Rogerson. Photography by Shana Hagan. Edited by Victor Livington. Music by James Wesley Stemple. Most welcome, bondage, for thou art a way, / I think, to liberty. Cymbeline 5.4.3-4 Reminiscent of a resigned Petrarch or even a fiery Donne (Take me to you, imprison me, for I, / Except you enthrall me, never shall be free, ....), Posthumous's paradoxical utterance towards the end of Shakespeare's late romance Cymbdine might well have been an epigraph for Shakespeare Behind Bars, a new ninety-three-minute, independently-produced documentary about adult male inmates mounting a production of The Tempest. Taken in isolation, these words invoke the liberal ideal of rehabilitative incarceration (predicting not simply an end to incarceration but liberty) even as they are tempered by uncertainty (I think). Such a combination of progressive optimism and uncertainty permeates this documentary, making it both provocative and, in the face of new thinking about Shakespeare's increasing presence behind bars, timely. Written and directed by Hank Rogerson (Bless Me with a Good Life [1994] and Homeland [2000]), Shakespeare Behind Bars has been making successful appearances at a number of film festivals in 2005, winning the Special Jury Prize at the Independent Film Festival of Boston and, on top of being named an Official Selection, selling out all of its six screenings at the prestigious Sundance Film Festival. In late August, the film made its international premier at the Edinburgh Film Festival, and in 2006 will air on the BBC's Storyville and on PBS. The success of Shakespeare Behind Bars represents perhaps the culmination of what arguably has been a burgeoning interest in prison Shakespeare over the last ten years. This period has witnessed the birth (and sometimes death) of a variety of prison Shakespeare programs in states such as California (San Quentin Prison), Utah (Utah State Prison), Indiana (Wabash Valley Correctional Institute), Wisconsin (Racine Correctional Institute), New Jersey (Riverfront State Prison), and Massachusetts (Suffolk County House of Corrections) and in countries such as England, Australia, Canada and India. These programs, which range from text-based, teacher-led discussions to professionally led workshops to performances put on by prisoner playing companies, have been chronicled by a number of recent articles in high-profile newspapers and magazines. At the same time, in 2001, Jean Trounstine published Shakespeare Behind Bars. The Power of Drama in a Women's Prison (New York: St. Martin's Press), a book which recounts the author's ten-year experience producing Shakespeare and other drama at Massachusetts's Framingham Women's Prison. A year later in 2002, WBEZ Chicago's This American Life broadcast a one-hour radio documentary on a production of by a group of inmates at the high-security Missouri Eastern Correctional Center. Sponsored by St. Louis's Prison Performing Arts Program, this production of the final Act of was the culmination of a two-year Hamlet Project at the prison. All of this activity has recently drawn interest from the academic community: Shakespeare in prison is a proposed special-session topic at this year's Modern Language Association meeting in Washington D.C. and a workshop topic at next year's Shakespeare Association of America meeting in Philadelphia. Much like This American Life's 2002 program, Shakespeare Behind Bars follows a group of prisoners as they first prepare and then stage a production of Shakespeare. Here, the documentary tracks inmates from Kentucky's medium-security Luther Luckett Correctional Complex as they work to mount a full production of The Tempest. As we are told in the opening few minutes of the film, Shakespeare is regular fare at Luther Luckett, produced at the prison in six previous seasons (The Two Gentlemen of Verona in1996, Twelfth Night in 1997, Othello in 1999, Titus Andronicus in 2001, and in 2002). …" @default.
