The Virgin Trial
By Kate Hennig
Directed by Elizabeth Ann Skelhorne
Shuswap Theatre
Fifteen-year-old Bess has no idea, when she heads to London to see her uncle Ted, that she is about to find herself at the heart of a scandal involving sexual impropriety, her stepfather, Thom, and an attempted overthrow of the government. What does all this have to do with her? How adroitly can Bess maneuver through a series of interviews to avoid being swept up in the peril that might ensue?
Kate Hennig explores victim shaming, sexual consent, and the extraordinary abilities of girls becoming women, as she reimagines a scandalous and little-known story of Elizabeth the First before she was Queen.
Advisory: Mature themes of sexuality and violence, includes mild to moderate profanity.
The Virgin Trial is presented by special arrangement with Queenmaker Inc.
