The play, by 47-year-old writer and director Lola Arias, who won the prestigious International Ibsen Award, is heading to Europe at the end of June. It’s part of a wider project with companion film Reas that arose from a workshop Arias gave in a women’s prison. For Arias, prisons may not always be the best solution. Yoseli Arias, 28, who was in prison for over four years, said in an interview in the theater dressing room, with her baby nearby, that she hoped the play would spur thought about what prison life was really like.
