SECOND STAGE
Feature Film - Drama/Comedy
Written and Directed by: Mark Leiren-Young
Developed in association with Bell Media The Harold Greenberg Fund, and Telefilm Canada
The Shawshank Redemption meets The Shakespeare Redemption in a gritty ensemble comedic-drama about the power of prison theatre. It’s 1980 and Paul runs a gallery selling paintings, sculptures and little something extra... cocaine. When he’s busted with a lethal combination, a kilo of coke and the naked niece of the arresting officer, Paul’s sentenced to five years. In prison, Paul falls down the rabbit hole of drugs until he joins a dozen reluctant actors (mostly killers) who risk everything for a bloody good, good and bloody production of Macbeth that changes all their lives. Inspired by a true story.
