The Trials

Written by Dawn King

Directed by John O’Neill

The near future. The climate emergency is gathering pace, and our generation is being judged. The world we want to live in is affected by the actions of the past and now relies on the ones were about to take.

The jurors are young people. But are they delivering justice - or just taking revenge?

Dawn King's searing play The Trials was first performed at the Düsseldorfer Schauspielhaus in January 2022, and was a finalist for the Susan Smith Blackburn Prize. It received its British premiere at the Donmar Warehouse, London, in August 2022, directed by Natalie Abrahami.

Venue. Mill at the Pier, Trencherfield Mill, Heritage Way, Wigan WN3 4EF
