Trial - Workshop Day

Wednesday February 11, 10am - 5pm

Description

Trial delves into the trauma a prisoner goes through before he is put to death. A tale of love, guilt, pain and, perhaps, eventual peace. The play has 3 main characters; a youth named Adam in his early 20s, his lover Nicole, and Jerry, a fellow prisoner. The play follows Adam’s arrest, his days in prison, and his last moments before he hears the guard’s call, “Do you have any last wishes?”

The Workshop

The format of Trial has changed! We are now holding a day long workshop on Thursday Feb 11, an opportunity for actors to experience this original script and to help in its development. The day will entail a script read through, active workshopping of scenes, exercises in character building, discussion of the text with the actors, and hopefully a final actioned read through.

Roles Available

• Adam: (he/him pronouns) in his early 20s, a first time murderer dealing with deep regret and existential fear

• Nicole: (she/her pronouns) Adam’s lover, unaware of Adam's past until he is arrested

• Jerry: (he/him pronouns) a fellow prisoner who tries to console Adam

• Lisa: (she/her pronouns) Nicole’s friend
