We've talked on this podcast about theatre and Shakespeare in prisons, but we've never heard about theatre created by the incarcerated or formerly incarcerated\xa0outside prisons. Director and teaching artist\xa0Jerrell L. Henderson directs the world premiere of Caged at Passage Theatre in New Jersey, and discusses\xa0the challenge of finding the narrative, radical love, predatory systems, the trick of navigating the demands of thirty living playwrights, mourning alone, and how to avoid the dangers of directorial slather and getting art on you.
