Hamlet
W. Shakespeare
This episode of @ThisAmerLife, about a production of Shakespeare’s #Hamlet performed by inmates in a high-security US #prison, is uplifting. Convicts are often reduced to crude stereotypes. This story celebrates human beings’ ability to better themselves. https://t.co/ogo87zynnJ

Cloud Cuckoo Land
