Is it worth seeing this ambitious would-be play for today?

My much mulled verdict: yes, absolutely.

Here is a group of lawyers who are prepared to deceive even a five-year-old in order to win a case.

They relish a battle of wits and have the ability to disguise conclusions as questions:

“You went to bed, didn’t you. Were you still drunk, would you say?”

For the purpose of driving someone into a corner, they do not hesitate to stigmatize them in any way possible.

 

Then, one incident interferes with a couple’s peaceful everyday life as if by chance, and shakes them to the core. 

“You’ve never said I’m sorry. Because saying sorry is an admission of guilt. That’s why you became a barrister.”

 

The sophisticated logic put forward in the cold court of law now returns as a blade that threatens each of them.

We are fortunate to encounter this play in 2019, but at the same time, we must answer this frightening question immediately!

 

 

 

 

SYNOPSIS

At first glance, Rachel and Jake seem like a happily married couple, but Jake’s recent affair has placed a huge strain on their relationship. Kitty and Edward are divided over their friends’ issue. Then, in one of Edward’s cases, a rape victim gets defeated in the court.
