Italian Prisoners Do Drag, Experimental Theater

The New York Times today brings us this story of a prison theater company, the Compagnia della Fortezza, led by one Armando Punzo, which for the last two decades has done some world-class experimental theater using only prison inmates, and lots of high heels purchased from a Milanese store that caters to drag queens. 

Their new production is Alice in Wonderland, a Theatrical Essay on the End of a Civilization, and while following some of that classic text also includes a collage of soliloquies from other sources, including Shakespeare’s Hamlet, Genet, Pinter and Chekhov.

And did we mention that all the men are incredibly hot and there’s a slideshow of them in costume?  Cut to us breaking the law in Volterra, Italy and living out the remainder of our lives creating great theater and having constant, hot prison sex with these men.
