About
Main-stage: 4/22-5/1/2016 - Allentown Public Theatre presented 8 performances of "The Island" in downtown Allentown to make live theater accessible to all, with special outreach to under-served center-city residents. This apartheid-era drama, by Athol Fugard, John Kani, and Winston Ntshona, tells of two political prisoners on Robben Island who labor by day but at night rehearse for a prison performance of the Greek tragedy "Antigone," as a vehicle for their own dissent. Their struggle with "Antigone," their captors, and each other gives a moving glimpse of the dynamics of power and the value of hope and humanity in the face of crushing odds. In this production, an ensemble representing modern-day American prisoners framed the South African story with drumming, movement, and song to bridge the gap between then and now. Post-show talkbacks let cast and audience discuss today's relevant issues of mass incarceration, police brutality, and racial tension. The Morning Call reviewer termed the play, "spare and thought-provoking." Lehigh Valley Press called it "a captivating visit to a place not so far away." . . . On 4/28, a private performance at Lehigh County Correctional Center was presented free to about 55 residents, who responded enthusiastically. Having one's experiences validated, especially in prison, is a powerful thing.
