Gentles,
Philomath Films award winning documentary Shakespeare Behind Bars was featured on National Public Radio's News & Notes with Ed Gordon program on Monday, August 21.
The show featured inmate Hal Cobb (played Prospero in the Philomath Films documentary made about the SBB production of The Tempest) and me. Hal's participation on the show was a privilege granted by Tom Dailey, Warden of the Luther Luckett Correctional Complex, and approved by the Kentucky Department of Corrections.
The show was pre-empted in some markets due the presidential press conference.
The actual on-air piece was severely cut from 30 minutes to about 5 minutes. But the longer segment is available at the website.
