Barred Freedom

BARRED FREEDOM

by Eugene Ambrose

Set in a prison in the nineteen seventies, the penal system is in crisis. Over-crowded and understaffed, with a riot in one wing of the prison and a plot to escape in the other. Wentworth is a first time criminal sharing a cell with young ‘old hand’ Dawson. While under the watch of the guard, Deacon, they distract themselves with language until Dawson reveals a plan that, if successful, could lead to their escape.

Written as gender neutral Barred Freedom has two casts, one male and one female, to explore the differences or similarities we see in behaviour regarding gender and social environment. Each cast also has a different director.
