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?

“Maria Terry’s design cleverly re-uses elements from other recent Playhouse productions to convey a public space that has been repurposed for the trials now that its previous use has become obsolete …it’s dystopian but completely recognisable. It’s surely no coincidence that this reusing of set items and the largely local cast must make this one of the more sustainable productions the Playhouse has ever staged.”
