In A Lebanese Prison, 12 Angry Men And A Female Director

“At Roumieh, Lebanon’s biggest penitentiary, in the mountains above Beirut, something unprecedented in the history of the country is happening. Every Sunday for four months, inmates from the all-male prison are performing a play…. What’s more, they’re doing it in front of an audience from outside, many of them women. The play’s director is a woman from outside, a noninmate.” The play? “Twelve Angry Men,” in Arabic.
