The Awakening at Jack Studio Theatre this September

The Awakening

by Julian Garner
presented by DLProductions

Tuesday 6 to Saturday 24 September 2016

What Johannes did is the worst thing anyone can do, there is nothing worse.
But how do we put it right? Johannes is serving a life sentence for murder.

Released on parole from an abusive prison system, reformer Agnes secures him a place working on a remote farm. Here he unwittingly becomes embroiled in an old, unresolved grudge. Left on his own in the world for the first time, events take a turn in ways they could never have predicted.
