We would like to acknowledge the courage and talent of the men who participated in this production. These are all men who have made terrible choices at some point in their lives, who have hurt others and themselves, and who are trying now to be the best men they can be. In telling their stories, they are hoping to heal themselves and others. Shakespeare provides the perfect inspiration for looking deeply at the complexities of human motivation and the aspiration for divine forgiveness.
