Ralegh: The Treason Trial cast.

The air is alive with the silence of a thousand expectant eyes. Ralegh enters, slowly, walking with a cane, neither proud nor defiant, concealing a limp with a studied control.

Ralegh bows to the bench. Then to the jury. The charge is read.

So begins the trial of the best-hated person in England. A trial that changed history…

Oliver Chris has compiled, edited, dramatised and will direct the following cast in Ralegh: The Treason Trial,

which premieres in

Winchester Great Hall, the location of the
original trial 415 years ago, before a limited run in the Sam Wanamaker
Playhouse from 24 November.

like! people always reference pride & prejudice as the archetypal “normal girl falls for mysterious brooding antihero” story but they overlook the part where lizzy drags darcy so fucking hard he leaves town and then apologizes for talking to her the next time they meet even though they’re at his literal house
