The Exonerated From far left, Brian Dennehy, Delroy Lindo, Stockard Channing, and J D Williams tell tales of former death-row inmates at the Culture Project. Credit Robert Caplin for The New York Times There’s a distinct sound made by audience members watching “The Exonerated.” It’s a sharp exhale, part incredulous, part angry, and delivered with a wince or a shake of the head. That sound is a visceral reaction to stories of people unjustly sentenced to die. It staves off the compulsion to cry out, or maybe just to cry.

Whatever the case, their stories remain troubling. “I finally volunteered to give what they call a ‘vision statement’ — a hypothetical account of what I would have done if I had killed my parents,” says Gary Gauger, a former inmate played here by a wisely understated. Such an account might jog memories of where he was on the day of the murders, he was told during some 12 hours of interrogation. Exhausted, Gary agreed to give the statement, all the while denying his involvement. That version was then used by the police as his confession. Years later two other men were found guilty of the crime. “So I’ll just give you a moment to reflect,” Sunny Jacobs (a gentle, marvelous ) says of her time in prison.

“From 1976 to 1992, just remove that entire chunk from your life, and that’s what happened.” Again, you hear that sound from the audience. This production features 10 actors; 6 are full-time, and 4 roles are filled by rotating cast members (Ms. Channing, Mr. Dennehy, and on the evening I went). There’s not a false performance in the 90-minute show.

Ryan was reviewing how to handle death row inmates in light of the publicity surrounding those who had been convicted during Chicago Police Commander 's tenure, which ended when he was fired in 1993. He had been the subject of numerous complaints to the police board and suits against the city for abusing suspects and coercing confessions.
