| Synopsis: | This one-man performance tells the story of Shane, a black man imprisoned for murder. Drudging through monotonous daily routines and isolated from the outside world, he narrates his correspondence with his 'pink pen pal', Jimmy, an Asian man who writes to him in prison as an act of charity. Through these conversations with this unseen friend, Shane undergoes a spiritual journey from cockiness to agonized self-reflection and self-hatred to ultimate gratitude for his new friend. | |
