This book explores the development of the global phenomenon of
Prison Shakespeare, from its emergence in the 1980s to the present
day. It provides a succinct history of the phenomenon and its
spread before going on to explore one case study the Queensland
Shakespeare Ensemble's (Australia) Shakespeare Prison Project in
detail. The book then analyses the phenomenon from a number of
perspectives, and evaluates a number of claims made about the
outcomes of such programs, particularly as they relate to offender
health and behaviour. Unlike previous works on the topic, which are
largely individual case studies, this book focuses not only on
Prison Shakespeare's impact on the prisoners who directly
participate, but also on prison culture and on broader social
attitudes towards both prisoners and Shakespeare.
