Set Me Free

Sas grew up in Naples. Growing up on streets filled with violence and bloodshed, he was the leader of a gang linked to the Camorra by the age of fourteen. At thirty, in prison, his life seems to be in a predictable descent.

That's when Shakespeare steps in. At Sas 's most hopeless point, he is persuaded to join the prison's drama troupe. In Shakespeare's Tempest, Sas stumbles on what he needs to explain the world which has defined his own life.

Set Me Free is a story about betrayal, forgiveness and, above all, the transformative power of reading.
