Random Acts Theatre Presents Stephen Fechter's 'The Woodsman'

Random Acts Theatre Presents Stephen Fechter's 'The Woodsman'

Exeter Phoenix Black Box
February 1st-4th; 8th - 10th
£8 (£5 Concessional)

Random Acts Theatre continues its tradition of excellence presenting a two week run of Steven Fetcher's The Woodsman. The portrait of a life a once brilliant craftsman, formerly convicted criminal, Walter, finds himself released from jail having served a sentence of twelve years. With few prospects and plagued by doubts of his ability to reform, Walter endures solitude, alienation, and contempt while desperately seeking his own redemption.

Adapted into the multi-award-winning 2004 film featuring Kevin Bacon and Mos Def, Fetcher's play examines the various levels of prejudice and tolerance we give to those rehabilitated in the eyes of the law, and our insistence on keeping them condemned in our own.
