The cast of Exonerated...the stage setting adds the appearance of various heights...perhaps to give more attention to a particular section of monologue.
The Exonerated is a 90 minute stage play revolving around the stories of six former Death Row prisoners who were released from prison after their convictions were reversed. The play briefly tells in narrative fashion each person’s story of what she or he was falsely accused of, how she or he was wrongly convicted, and his or her eventual exoneration.
The play is staged with a spartan set of 10 chairs lined up across the stage. There is a lectern in front of each chair that has a copy of the script. There is no physical movement since the actors remain seated throughout the play. The acting is in the voice inflections and accents of the performers as they recite dialogue based on court transcripts and interviews related to the cases of the five men and one women.
The documentary drama "The Exonerated", demonstrates how sometimes there's only one prerequisite for dying at the hands of a public executioner: poverty. Caucasians can qualify as long as they are poor and have no influential connections.
