Fortune And Men's Eyes

the play is set in a Canadian juvenile penitentiary, where a young prisoner, Smith, learns the ropes of life on the inside. Caught within a complex of power and politics, Smith assimilates quickly with the help of his cellmates, Rocky, Queenie, and Mona. The press release says, "Shocking, even by today's standards, Fortune offers a candid depiction of prison life, sexual violence and the inhumanity that the system encourages."
