Today marked the first rehearsal and reading for the new play...

The story is based on an actual incident, the Stanford Experiment , in 1971, and sees a group of volunteers at a makeshift prison, taking part in a two-week experiment that analyses the behaviours of a controlled prison environment...

Half the volunteers posed as prison guards while the other half as prisoners. Very soon, the personalities and situations began to get out of hand with the threat of complete chaos and death...
