Sinopsis

'Everyone lived like we did! Well maybe not everyone, everyone. But… I wasn't any worse than anyone else.'
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 was first performed at the Düsseldorfer Schauspielhaus in January 2022, and was a finalist for the Susan Smith Blackburn Prize. It received its British premiere at the Donmar Warehouse, London, in August 2022, directed by Natalie Abrahami.
The Trials offers an exciting opportunity for theatre companies to address the climate emergency and intergenerational conflict, as the jury of 12 to 17-year-olds hold the stage alongside three adult defendants.
Disponible desde: 18/08/2022.
Longitud de impresión: 80 páginas.

    'I write. I demand. I ask.
    Not for women to have power over men but over themselves.'
    Trailblazing writer, feminist philosopher, and fearless campaigner for women's rights, Mary Wollstonecraft lived a life of courage and determination. She dared to defy the conventions of eighteenth-century Britain, and kept going when many wanted to bring her down.
    Maureen Lennon's play Mary and the Hyenas is a searing tribute to the spirit and resilience of a woman who fought for equality and justice – and an exhilarating dive into history and the birth of feminism. Be prepared for petticoats to be lifted, boots to be stamped, and voices raised in the pursuit of change.
    Featuring electrifying music by Billy Nomates and performed by a cast of six, Mary and the Hyenas was first produced by Hull Truck Theatre and Pilot Theatre, directed by Esther Richardson, and opened at Hull Truck Theatre in 2025 before a UK tour.
    This edition includes the full text of the play along with a range of teaching materials and resources designed to help educators bring the play to life for their students.
