520 $aIn this gripping account, Trounstine, who spent ten years teaching in Framingham Women's Prison in Massachusetts, focuses on six inmates who, each in her own way, discover in the power of great drama a way to transcend the painful constraints of incarceration. We meet: Dolly, a fiftyish grandmother who brings her knitting to classes and starts a battered-women's group in prison; Bertie, a Jamaican beauty estranged from her homeland, torn with guilt, and shunned for her crime; Kit, a tough, wisecracking con who stirs up trouble wherever she can - until she's threatened with losing her kids; Rose, an outside in the prison community who lives with HIV and eventually gains acceptance through drama; Rhonda, a college-educated leader whose life falls apart when her father dies and who struggles in prison to reestablish her roots; [and] Mamie, a nurse in the free world, now the prison gardener, who makes cards with poetry and dried flowers and battles her own illness behind bars. Shakespeare Behind Bars is a uniquely powerful work that gives voices to forgotten women, sheds a compassionate light on a dark world, and proves the redemptive power of art and education." - Provided by publisher
