BSL interpreted performance on Fri 15 Nov (8PM) with Sherrie Eugene-Hart
Written by Lucy Kirkwood
Suffolk, England, 1759. A small rural town awaits the celestial spectacle of Halley’s Comet whilst a grisly trial unfolds. Young Sally Poppy, accused of murdering a local girl, faces the gallows. But at the eleventh-hour she makes a powerful and startling disclosure of pregnancy. A jury of matrons must now conclude if Sally is expecting, or simply lying to avoid the death penalty.
Commentary on class, wealth, fertility and feminism echo through the ages in Lucy Kirkwood’s explosive courtroom drama, as twelve women wrestle with the fate of another.
Suitable for ages 14+
