Cell Buddy: The Story and Two Stage Adaptations - Paperback

by Robert Johnson (Author), Jordyn Cahill (Adapted by), Ellen W. Kaplan (Adapted by)

We don't often think about the sheer and agonizing loneliness experienced in prisons for women. Even less do we realize that the damaged women we relegate to prison are also confined by the abuses that have shaped and often warped their lives. From the emotional prisons these women carry within, we learn in Cell Buddy: The Story & The Play, there is no escape. Ellen W. Kaplan, Director of Theatre and Professor of Acting and Directing, Smith College, and author of several plays, as well as the text, Images of Mental Illness in Text and Performance.
