A rehearsed reading of a poetic and gritty new drama.

 

Prison cell.

Violent guards.

Interrogation day and night.

Alone with your thoughts, your fears, no one else.

It’s claustrophobic inside but it can get worse. Much worse.

i got myself arrested because i didn’t feel safe explores the rituals of incarceration, humiliation and the erosion of self. It is a brutal examination of justice and the pursuit of truth, exposing the tragedy of a life lived small.
