The Trial of Ralegh was a play at the Sam Wanamaker in the October of 2018 (must be because I take my housemate to the Wanamaker for her birthday and last year was spooky stories), and the dialogue is taken from the actual trial of Sir Walter Ralegh for treason. Twelve of the audience were the 'jury' and got to go out and deliberate over whether he done it or not, and Oliver Chris got offended letters about how the prosecutor was played by (clutch pearls now) a black woman. Review in the Financial Times.
