'Shakespeare Behind Bars'

The other night I saw one of the best things I've ever seen on telly. No exaggeration. Well, slight exaggeration but it was good, and to be fair I don't really watch much telly, so I don't have much to compare it to. The programme was about a project to put on Shakespeare plays in an American medium security prison, and the cast was entirely made up of convicts. The film followed them as they prepared to put on The Tempest (chosen because of its themes of redemption and its setting on an island - much like the seclusion of a prison). But the film also looked into the lives of the prisoners, and they said some incredible things. I remember one guy was talking about forgiveness - 'I can't find it in myself' he said 'and I can't find it in other people, so what am I supposed to do?'. Another guy said that he fekt that he had come to a point where he could forgive himself, 'and yet' he said' there's still something missing'. Though provoking stuff.

Anyway, I must dash -have to go and show my Uncle how to use his computer...unfortunately I probably have less idea than him, but I won't tell him that!
