Goldstar freebie: Intense Day-in-the-Life Drama The Brig, Set in Marine Prison

Mary-Arrchie’s innovative staging of this challenging drama offers an up-close look at one day in the life of Marines serving time in a dehumanizing military prison. Based on author Kenneth H. Brown’s own incarceration in 1957 Camp Fuji, Japan, The Brig explores the inmates’ psychological reactions to their intense environment, creating an equally visceral audience experience. The play was first produced by the avant-garde Living Theatre in 1963, which also staged an Obie-winning 2007 revival of the work.  Get freebie tickets for performances through the third week of April.
