Visiting Lecture Series: Executing Justice—A Play
The Faculty of Health and Community Studies and Faculty of Nursing Visiting Lecture Series invites faculty, student, staff and community members to a 2014 Harry S. Rinaul Award Winner production, Executing Justice.
This production, written and performed by Bill Pats, and set in the year 2030, depicts Daryl Kane as the first man to face death row as Canada reinstates capital punishment. Falling on desperate times, Kane makes a choice that lands him in prison. While incarcerated an act of self-defense lands him in solitary confinement for his own safety. “Pats plays different characters with conviction. You’ll forget the story is fictional.” – CBC.
“Executing Justice examines, an overburdened foster-care system, and uncaring legal system that fails to take a person’s financial straits into account, a lack of comprehensive social assistance, and underfunded mental health system in Canadian prisons, the continued use of solitary confinement as a punitive measure despite its documented destructive effect on the human psyche, and the simple social paradigm that convicted criminals are somehow sub-human.” – New Ottawa Critics.
February 28, 3:30 – 5 p.m.
Kule Theatre (Room 9-323), Robbins Health Learning Centre
FREE!
