As described by the playwright: Someone Is Sure to Come “ is a play by Kaplan and incarcerated men and women across the U.S. Monologues and poetry written by people currently on Death Row or serving Life Without Parole, many of whom have been in solitary confinement for decades. Their words are woven into a lyrical play that looks at life ‘inside’ and ‘out.’ Fantasy, humor and poetry combine to create a kaleidoscopic vision of serving hard time, and to question the responsibility we have when society imprisons people and ‘throws away the key.’” Someone Is Sure to Come was presented in NYC at La Mama Annex and published in the Tacenda Literary Magazine.
Following each reading, audience members will have the opportunity to ask questions and give feedback to the playwright. Instructions for online viewing will be posted on the Silverthorne website: https://silverthornetheater.org/play-reading-series/
