Benjamin is 27 years old and is serving a 10-month prison sentence with an electronic ankle bracelet in his mother’s apartment: house arrest! Suddenly, behaviors he thought he had overcome resurface. His mother wants to be part of her son’s life, wants to help him, protect him. But Benjamin wants nothing more than his freedom and feels shackled not only by the justice system. A depressing chamber play, powerfully staged.
