Fundaci\u00f3n Shakespeare Argentina visited Mercedes\u00b4s Prison, the oldest jail in the State of Buenos Aires (130 Km away from Buenos Aires city) where\u00a0the group “Renacer” (Rebirth), at ‘Penal 5’ \u00a0decided to play\u00a0Shakespeare for the first time, encouraged by watching Taviani’s movie “Caesar must die”.<\/p>\n

It was very rewarding to speak to each of its members (cast & crew) and to prison guards and authorities.<\/p>\n

Our hearts are filled with gratitude and responsibility in order to support them by all means. Starting\u00a0by showing what they can achieve with their “good parts” as they say, making society aware of this and spreading it across the “Criminal Justice System”.<\/p>\n

An article on our visit has already been posted on the Penitentiary webpage as well as in the local Newspaper:<\/p>\n
