Set Me Free: The Story of How Shakespeare Saved a Life

By Salvatore Striano

Sas grew up in Naples. Growing up on streets filled with violence and bloodshed, he was the leader of a gang linked to the Camorra by the age of fourteen. At thirty, in prison, his life seems to be in a predictable descent. That's when Shakespeare steps in. At Sas 's most hopeless point, he is persuaded to join the prison's drama troupe. In Shakespeare's Tempest , Sas stumbles on what he needs to explain the world which has defined his own life. Set Me Free is a story about betrayal, forgiveness and, above all, the transformative power of reading.
