What effect does it have on a person--a soul, a life--to have freedom and self-respect stripped away and then, ostensibly, returned years later after decades of incarceration? The Exonerated attempts to answer this question through the words of six innocent men and women who, after years in jail, emerged from death row to try to reclaim what was left of their lives.

I was cast in this show while attending the University of Southern Indiana. I was cast as the character; David. The young man that was convicted at the age 18. This is a very powerful play that share the lives of six people that was wrongly accussed. I recommend reading and going to see this show.
Telling the story of these people was very difficult; because I became one with this character and all the emotions erupted from me. I never knew I could cry on spot; I wanted the audience to feel this..more

This is going to stay with me. As it should.
A fantastic play. It shocked and touched me and made me realise how lucky I am to live in a country where death penalty is not an option and how important it is to do everything in my power to make sure it stays that way.
This was a short read, but definitely worth it. My only disappointment was that I wanted to know more! I would love to see this play! I would love to read a novel about these individuals in more depth! Their stories were heartbreaking but are worth being told!
After that, the main adjustment was just learning to feel again. You know, when you're in prison, you can't allow yourself to feel too much. So when you get out, you've gotta practice. I had to practice a bunch to be human again. To remind me.
Short, soulful, tragic play about people who were on death row, what they did(n't) do to get there, and what they live with now.

Read this for my drama studies - I was thinking of doing a monologue from it but none of the monologues stood out to me. However, as a whole the play was haunting and eye opening. Its quick pace felt very smooth and the stories worked well together in the sense that the sudden switch in narrative was not jarring or confusing. I can't say it's the best play I've ever read but I definitely would recommend it, 3 stars.

The more testimonial plays I read, the less I like them. I think there's a reason drama was developed in the history of civilization. If there wasn't a demand for it, we would all watch Court TV and go exclusively to trials for our entertainment.

Based on true events, interesting to read the stories about corruption, racism, poor investigations, that put these people on death row, one for 22 years, when they were not even guilty of the crime they were convicted for!
Discusses the issues of the American justice system.

Emotional.
Play #2 of the 1-per-week marathon. It has some good monologues, but I didn't like it overall. It is about the prison system and the likelihood of minorities being convicted wrongly.
Fantastic though I imagine it's way better staged. Was hard to keep everyone straight, character wise.

I read this in my political theater class and then I drove all the way up to Logan in one of the worst snow storms I'd ever experienced to see it performed. Worth it.

The Exonerated Script
Beautiful, you must read Living Justice though right afterwards, it is the book about the writing of the play.
