The Trials

It’s easy for you to accuse me now but you don’t understand. Everyone lived like we did! Well maybe not everyone, everyone. But…I wasn’t any worse than anyone else.
The near future.
The climate crisis is unfolding and our generation is being judged. 
The jurors? Children. But are they delivering justice, or serving revenge?
 
In this searing new play by Dawn King, young performers star alongside leading actors, directed by Natalie Abrahami.
 
A Donmar Local Production: identifying talent of the future and proudly platforming them and the issues that matter. 
 
The Trials received its world première at the Düsseldorfer Schauspielhaus in 2021, and was a finalist for the Susan Smith Blackburn Prize. The Trials Young Assistants’ Programme is generously supported by the Backstage Trust.
