An exploration of a killing state. North Carolina.
Still…Life examines the Death Penalty in North Carolina using interviews with people from across the state that have been impacted by the Death Penalty. This process began in June, 2005. Interviewees included Death Row inmates, their families, victims, chaplains, attorneys, a warden, prison guards, and others.
The cast features local professional actors, including David Henderson, Deb Royals, John Honeycutt, Annissa Clark, Kimberly Hardy, and Joseph Calendar. Technical Production and design by Thomas Mauney and Rob Hamilton. Photographic images projected throughout the performance are provided by photojournalist Scott Langley, from his “Documentary Project on the Death Penalty”.
In 2003 the North Carolina Senate passed moratorium legislation that included a two-year halt of executions and a review of the state’s death penalty system to ensure, among other things, that no innocent person is sentenced to death in North Carolina. Recently, The North Carolina Medical Board has ruled that it is unethical for a physician to take part in a State sanctioned execution. The State Government of North Carolina is currently deciding how to proceed with executions without the presence of a physician. These recent developments surrounding the Death Penalty in North Carolina have raised the awareness of this emotional issue. Still…Life is attempting to represent both sides of this North Carolina issue through authentic North Carolina voices.
