Inside/Out: A Prison Memoir - East Van to Adelaide Season

Theatre and Physical Theatre • Film

Patrick Keating’s captivating new play is the real-life story of years spent in and out of Canada’s penitentiary system; a story about a man’s search for community: the community of the street, the community of prison, and of the theatre.

A part of the HST ON-SCREEN PROGRAM. The show has been recorded and will play in the new cinema lounge in Ruby's at Holden Street Theatres.
