The actors were so real and convincing. They showed a great deal of emotion for court drama, and the seats could not have been better from any angle. I was very impressed at how the staging was done given that the area was so small. We thoroughly enjoyed the performance!

We really enjoyed the performance overall. I didn't think the Asian girl really fit the role although, she gave a great performance. We also really enjoyed the venue for the performance.

Very very very good courtroom drama. Very good enacting of the book and witty dialogues. Our seats were good too. Just that go a bit early, the entrance of the theatre can be a bit confusing.

Incredible and genuine atmosphere because of the context of the story and the entire framing of the play. Use of a jury made up of common people was also a great touch.
