Polish Prisoners Take on Shakespeare

- April 9, 2013
Inmates at a high security prison in Poland are reciting Shakespeare to broaden their horizons. The initiative designed to resocialize them is the brainchild of a community arts center in the nearby eastern Polish city of Lublin. These prisoners, who face years behind bars, are performing an adaptation of Shakespeare's late 16th century comedy "A Midsummer Night's Dream".
