A Play by Dawn King
Presented in arrangement by Berlin Associates
The near future. The climate emergency is gathering pace, and the older generation is being judged. The jurors are children. But are they delivering justice – or just taking revenge? The Trials addresses the climate emergency and intergenerational conflict, as the jury of 12 to 17-year-olds hold the stage alongside three adult defendants. This play will spark discussion and debate on climate change, responsibility, and accountability.
CONTENT DISCLOSURES: The Trials involves strong language, mild physical intimacy, a queer relationship, and a dystopian future where children can vote to sentence adults to death. For a more specific list of content presented in this play, please contact us.
For ages: 13 and up / Run time approx. 90 minutes
Themes: Climate Change – Responsibility – Loss
