Night Out --

The Island

SHOW NAME

DESCRIPTION

The Island is set on Robben Island, the notorious prison situated in the bay overlooking Cape Town, South Africa. Nelson Mandela’s enforced home for much of his captivity, Robben Island incarcerated many of the political prisoners who threatened apartheid rule. John and Winston are two such political prisoners, grinding through days of pointless, back-breaking labour, coping with vicious beatings from the guards, and spending their nights remembering a life outside of their current misery. The play is based on the true story of a performance in the prison by two inmates of the great classical drama of political protest, Antigone.
