On Sunday, September 20th, we hosted a virtual book for Prison Theatre and the Global Crisis of Incarceration by Ashley Lucas. We had a good turnout on Zoom–Ashley was in Michigan, Howard in New York, Al and Nick in Seattle, lots of friends in Portland and Carlos from Peru! Prison Theatre was published by Methuen Drama on September 3, 2020. An interview with Ashley is featured in the September 3rd issue of the peace, love, happiness & understanding journal. 

The fourth Shakespeare in Prisons Conference is highlighting Ashley’s book. Here are some links:
