Directed by Sean Aita.
The year is 1759, and young woman Sally Poppy has been convicted of a particularly gruesome murder, and is sentenced to be hanged.
When Sally claims to be pregnant, a jury of twelve matrons are tasked with deciding whether she’s telling the truth or lying to escape her bloody fate. The village midwife, Elizabeth Luke, finds herself ensnared in a moral dilemma when she’s asked to join the jury. She delivered Sally Poppy into the world, along with many of the other girls in the village.
Should she now vote for her to die?
An Amateur performance by Kind Permission of Nick Hern Books
