The Viewing Room archiveA solution to chronic prison overcrowding leads to convicted criminals being housed with ordinary citizens in their homes: A young couple have 'volunteered' to do social service, choosing to take in a prisoner ostensibly soon to be released back into the community. 'Their' prisoner comes housed in a cage and is accompanied with an instruction manual with rules of engagement, and their apartment is fitted with surveillance equipment. Their 'superiors' have a range of ways of maintaining a dominant contact and control of behaviour within the apartment. The couple have become unpaid prison guards. But gradually they discover that their prisoner is not who they think he might be, that their trust has been betrayed, that their prisoner's crime is ...indistinct, that their flat may become a suburb of death row. The State is baying, but who is to die? The opening night gala performance on Wednesday March 5th will benefit Amnesty International and the play will be featured in Amnesty's events to mark the 60th anniversary of the Declaration of Human Rights.
