Play about Pelicot trial brings star-studded cast to London for one night

A theatrical production dramatizing the trial of the men convicted of drugging and raping Gisèle Pelicot is scheduled for a one-night only engagement in London this November. The four-hour play, titled The Pelicot Trial: Tribute to Gisèle Pelicot, features a cast comprising notable performers.

The production has already been staged internationally, with previous performances held in Avignon, France, where the original trial took place, as well as in New York City. It now makes its way to London County Hall, a venue historically associated with Agatha Christie’s Witness for the Prosecution.

  1. London County Hall has such a rich legal history with Witness for the Prosecution. A fitting backdrop for this.

  2. Is it ethical to dramatize this trauma for entertainment? I worry about reopening wounds rather than offering justice.
