The Long Road Shelagh Stephenson Prison Offenders Reform Theatre Programme

CHAU1503  This is a rare eight page colour souvenir from the Soho Theatre when Shelagh Stephenson's novel was taken to the London stage on ex offenders and prisoners which it explains on the second page was written to be a play to be performed in theatres around the country. It is full of great information and is in mint condition.

The Long Road evolved out of a period of research with prisoners by Synergy Theatre Project, in collaboration with The Forgiveness Project and award-winning playwright Shelagh Stephenson. Synergy Theatre Project works through theatre with offenders and ex-offenders towards resettlement and rehabilitation whilst placing the wider issues surrounding imprisonment in the public arena. The Forgiveness Project encourages and empowers people to explore the nature of forgiveness and alternatives to revenge. It is a rare play that hits the news with such cruel topicality
