Audience Talkback

October 14, 2009

 

In order to further the discussion of the issues in the play, I organized an audience talkback with several guests, including:


  1. Jeremy Paul, Dean of the UConn Law School and Thomas F. Gallivan Jr. Professor of Real Property Law

  2. Thomas Morawetz, UConn Criminal Law Professor and Tapping Reeve Professor of Law and Ethics

  3. 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

  4. Karen Goodrow, Director of the Connecticut Innocence Project and a veteran criminal defense attorney for the Connecticut Division of Public Defender Services.


  1. 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.
