Tonight on PBS

(particularly for fans of The Cowboy Wally Show)

Shakespeare Behind Bars

A study of 20 male inmates who form the Shakespeare Behind Bars theatre troup, an acting company based in a [Louisville,] Kentucky prison, as they prepare their performance of Shakespeare's final play, "The Tempest".

This is a documentary and not the play itself. Here is a Quicktime trailer. (Crayon-and-paper costumes, sadly, are not on display.)
