Play Reading: The Hang of the Gaol
by Howard Barker
Saturday 22 October, 2pm, Ashcroft Room, Royal Shakespeare Theatre, £8
A script-in-hand performance of Howard Barker’s bruising play about corruption in the justice system. The cast includes Forbes Masson, recently seen as the Friar in Romeo and Juliet and Jacques in As You Like It as part of the 2009-2011 Ensemble.
When a suspicious fire destroys Middenhurst prison, a recognition-hungry civil servant is recruited to hide the truth. An exposing study in guilt and collusion, this play was first performed by the RSC at the Warehouse Theatre in London in 1978.
Cast: Sam Alexander, Joseph Arkley, Neal Barry, Ken Bones, Ricky Champ, Nicky Cox, Rebecca Johnson, Forbes Masson, Oliver Ryan, John Stahl, Stephanie Street, Matthew Wilson
