Join the Grange Park Opera trip to see Dead Man Walking at the English National Opera

Based on a true story from the memoir of Sister Helen and adapted into an Oscar-winning film starring Susan Sarandon and Sean Penn, the conflicting drama plays out behind the bars of a high-security United States prison.

Overview

Joseph De Rocher faces death by lethal injection for the brutal and senseless murder of two teenagers. While Joseph refuses to accept his guilt, we follow the religious and personal struggles of Sister Helen Prejean. She offers him spiritual guidance and witnesses the unbearable pain felt by the victim’s families, who’ve been left devastated by Joseph’s horrific and unforgivable crimes.

Will Sister Helen succeed in getting the confession the families deserve? Or will Joseph maintain his innocence to the very end?
