Colin Greenwood
2 Years Imprisonment

Dear Bruce,

Being in prison is not an option that I wish on any man and the reasons for this are obvious to the extremes. But when a project like the Shakespeare Workout suddenly becomes a part of your life (if only for a short while) a change occurs within you that has nothing but beneficial qualities. I feel after about six sessions that new doors have been opened to me both mentally and in opportunities and leisurely ways. Apart from breaking up the monotony of prison life your Workout has broken up the monotony of my whole life which has basically been the pursuit of happiness through drugs since being an adult. I now realise that after years of searching for some other form of release for my energies that acting is something that gives me great feelings of fulfilment and an exciting outlook for my future as a hobby or even a career when I am released.

Hurrah, hurrah, hurrah for the Shakespeare Workout. You’ve proved to me that there are other keys to unlock the pleasures of the brain apart from the Chemical ones.

Keep up the good work and all the best for the future.
