Sarah Shourd, the Bay Area-based journalist who while hiking was taken captive by the Iranian government as a political hostage and put into solitary confinement for 410 days from 2009 to 2010 has written a play ignited by that experience to bring the tragic-and sometimes painfully comic and absurd-realities that dictate life inside American prisons and especially "inside the box" to dramatic life by probing the question: what would you do if you had nothing left to lose?
With a cast of 9, The Box tracks its characters as they make their journeys: from racist to revolutionary, from tough-guy to suicide victim, from guru/teacher to frightened, lost soul, and from father to friend.
