Stephen Bellamy and Susan Ives stand accused of murdering Stephen's wife, Lola. According to the prosecution, Susan found that her husband was having an affair with Lola and she persuaded Stephen to help her put a stop to it. With a knife. But, as the witnesses are called to give their evidence, it becomes clear that things are much more complicated than they first appear. Assuming, of course, that everyone is telling nothing but the truth. This play for six actors is inspired by the Bellamy trial from over 100 years ago but has been updated and set in Northwest England in the present day. Four actors play the Judge, the Usher, the Prosecution and the Defence. The other two actors play everyone else including all the witnesses and the accused. The audience are invited to select a jury and decide whether the defendants are guilty or not guilty before the truth is finally revealed.
