Sasà grew up in Naples. Growing up on streets filled with violence and bloodshed, he was the leader of a gang linked to the Camorra by the age of fourteen. At thirty, in prison, his life seems to be in a predictable descent.

That's when Shakespeare steps in. At Sasà's most hopeless point, he is persuaded to join the prison's drama troupe. In Shakespeare's Tempest, Sasà stumbles on what he needs to explain the world which has defined his own life.

Set Me Free is a story about betrayal, forgiveness and, above all, the transformative power of reading.

Salvatore Striano was born in 1972 in Naples. During a stint in prison, he discovered a love of reading and theatre. Striano is now a successful actor and has had a number of roles in cinema and TV, including Cesare deve morire, based on Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar (Golden Bear at the Berlin Festival).
