Stephen King and The Shawshank Redemption
"The Shawshank Redemption Revealed," author and Largely Literary co-founder Mark Dawidziak presents a program based on his 2019 book. Filmed in Ohio and starring Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman, "The Shawshank Redemption" has risen in popularity since its release in 1994, reaching No. 1 on IMDB's list of most-loved movies. Dawidziak conducted more than 70 interviews for the book, talking to King, Darabont, Robbins and Freeman, as well as extras, supporting players and behind-the-scenes talent. Within the confines of Shawshank State Penitentiary, food becomes a means of normalcy amidst an otherwise oppressive and dehumanizing environment. Inmates (attendees) will be served a mystery meat with gravy (meatloaf), a slop of mashed potatoes and a mix of vegetables from previous meals with a slice of white bread. Water and coffee only. No dessert. No soda. You can only eat with a spork, no sharp utensils.
