This powerful theatrical work focuses on poverty and injustice related to a federal immigration detention center, shedding light on systemic social issues around immigration enforcement.
"Prisontown" is part of the 2025 Eugene O'Neill Festival, thematically reflecting on "seeking to belong." Directed by Richard [1], the play will be performed within a broader context of exploring belonging, displacement, and identity.
The play's main themes include poverty, injustice, and the social and human consequences of incarceration and displacement. It offers a poignant commentary on these intersecting issues through the lens of one individual’s story within a federal immigration detention context.
"Prisontown" is a thought-provoking addition to the Festival, aligning with its focus on themes of belonging and marginalization.
