Key Points

  • The play achieved considerable success despite the challenges of solitary confinement, showcasing creativity and resilience.
  • A key element was the total commitment of all participants to the play's success, enhancing teamwork and focus.

  • The process not only involved artistic expression but also fostered critical life skills like organization and leadership.

Abstract

In writing the original play The Return, I discovered abilities to organize, encourage, and direct, which I never knew I had. From the play’s origin inside of my 8x10 prison cell of solitary confinement, to its inception and encore performance, each and every person involved eventually became totally committed to its success. In this essay, I reflect on the process of play writing in prison.
