St John MckayAmateur Company

60 minutesMuse
Reenact the criminal trial of a real-life feminist activist martyr... but as a television gameshow. With talking monkeys. With you as the jury deciding her fate... WTF? It’s different every time but forever sad, nuts, tragic, absurd, heavy, bananas and intense. Daring to ask – does prison really make us safer? *All ticket sales go to criminal justice nonprofits.
