Esther Baker is the Creative Director of Synergy Theatre Project, an organisation that uses theatre to transform the lives of prisoners and ex-prisoners across the criminal justice system. Through productions in and out of prison, training programmes, and creative projects, Synergy amplifies the voices of marginalised people in the justice system, while creating pathways to rehabilitation.
In this episode, we talk about Synergy’s work across prisons and communities and the power of theatre and creativity to change lives. We also discuss their new short film Cancer Cells, which shines a light on the challenges people with a cancer diagnosis face in prison. It’s a subject that’s deeply important to The View Magazine, and one we’re proud to spotlight.
