The Trials
About this Event
The near future. The climate emergency is gathering pace, and our generation is being judged. The jurors are children. But are they delivering justice – or just taking revenge?
Dawn King's searing play The Trials received its British premiere at the Donmar Warehouse, London, in August 2022, directed by Natalie Abrahami. Now, the Longfield Hall Young Company will perform an abridged version of this brilliant play, directed by Anna Morrissey. On the day of the performances, they will be joined by some very special guests who will play the defendants.
When: 2:30pm & 7:30pm on Saturday 8th and Sunday 9th August 2026
Running time: 60 mins
Age recommendation: 12+ (there is some coarse language throughout)
