The Pain Factory

Abstract

A 60-minute show written and performed by Lauren Ware. Venue: New Town Theatre, Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Date: Monday, 7th August 2017. Description: Two people are imprisoned for identical crimes. One finds prison life merely unpleasant, the other lives in constant fear adn distress. Have they been punished equally? Drawing on the philosophy of emotion and the impact of imprisonment on offenders and their families, this interactive show asks the audience to consider if punishment must hurt, who can be made to suffer, and why.
