In order to further the discussion of the issues in the play, I organized an audience talkback with several guests, including:
✦Jeremy Paul, Dean of the UConn Law School and Thomas F. Gallivan Jr. Professor of Real Property Law
✦Thomas Morawetz, UConn Criminal Law Professor and Tapping Reeve Professor of Law and Ethics
✦Dale AJ Rose - Director of The Exonerated, interim artistic director of the CRT and director of performance studies in the University's Department of Theatre Arts
✦Karen Goodrow, Director of the Connecticut Innocence Project and a veteran criminal defense attorney for the Connecticut Division of Public Defender Services.
✦The talkback’s guest of honor was Mr. Kenneth Ireland, who was exonerated of all charges in August 2009 after 21 years wrongful imprisonment for a murder he did not commit. All present were inspired by his humor and courage.
