The day I went to

The day I went to Prison

Yesterday I had the sheer honour of working with the
London Shakespeare Workout, an organisation that runs
Shakespeare workshops in British prisons.

We visited HMP Feltham, working with the young offenders who were
aged 18-21and they were a truly amazing group to work with, totally
committed to what we were doing and far better behaved than some
of the youth movement kids I worked with last summer!

LSW are a terrific organisation run by the energetic Bruce Wall and
last year they visited 50 prisons. It was a totally rewarding experience
and now I'm keen to go and do some work with the lifers.
