NYCLU

"Ten years after its New York premiere, The Exonerated still has the power to unsettle."
- The New York Times
New York Times Critic's Pick
"The Exonerated remains possibly the best example of this particular style of docu-theater ... speaks powerfully to both mind and heart."
- The New York Post
2012 marks the 10th anniversary of Culture Project’s New York premiere of The Exonerated, a ground-breaking dramatization of the real-life stories of six individuals who were sentenced to death and later freed amidst overwhelming evidence of their innocence. It is a powerful play culled from interviews, letters, transcripts, case files and court records of individuals on death row. As timely as ever, The Exonerated is once again poised to increase visibility and to create a sense of urgency as part of a rising movement to restore justice to a system that has shown itself time and again to be deeply flawed. Since 1989, when the first DNA exoneration took place, 300 post-conviction DNA exonerations have been won in 36 states.    Running time: 90 minutes, no intermission
