Why is this book listed here?
Steve Rowland is a veteran oral historian and documentary producer. This book is being sold now as a fundraiser for an exciting new project that employs formerly incarcerated people as teachers of high school and college Zoom workshops. The workshops are based on Steve’s upcoming documentary film “Time Out of Joint: Prison Reflections on Shakespeare” which chronicles an amazing prison workshop about Shakespeare. Viewers get a fly-on-the-wall experience to sit in on an actual prison classroom and listen to 16 men talk about Shakespeare, as they consider issues like manhood, honor, misogyny, power, war, crime, forgiveness, redemption, sorrow, fatherhood, and, of course……love.
Our education project employs these same men (all are out of prison now, with no recidivism) as workshop leaders to discuss these issues - along with issues about prison education, prison reform/abolition, and “who owns Shakespeare?” with students all over the country.
100% the of the proceeds of your purchase of the e-book go to support our educational project.
