Somebody famous is coming ... the perfect time for prisoners to bust out and make their great escape.
Katikati Youth Theatre is putting on a play that is about a play, and prisoners taking advantage of an opportunity to escape.
The youth division is putting on D.M. Larson’s Somebody Famous at The Arts Junction theatre at the end of the month.
The comedy is about women prisoners tasked with cleaning an old theatre. They expect to take part in some drama therapy.
But somebody famous is coming to take centre stage and the women decide this is their chance to hatch a plan and make a run for it. They pick the perfect play to help them bust out.
