Plot summary
Inside a women's maximum security prison, a writing workshop brings together fifteen inmates, most of them convicted of murder. The playwright and activist Eve Ensler runs the sessions. The women write about their lives before prison and about the offenses that brought them there, and the group discusses the nature of those crimes and how much culpability each of them holds. Their words are collected for a performance in the prison, where actors read the women's writing aloud.
