Special Event
'The Trial; In Absurdia' - Inner Temple Drama Society
For one night only, the Inner Temple Drama Society will be performing their 2025 Edinburgh Fringe production, 'The Trial: In Absurdia', If you were unable to make it to Edinburgh this summer, this is your only chance to see the play live. Kafka meets Monty Python when mild-mannered accountant Jo is arrested abroad for a nonsensical crime. Their predicament escalates into a surreal nightmare of endless red tape and baffling legal theatrics. They enlist Sam, a UK barrister armed with a powdered wig and an unshakable belief in justice. As Sam fights for fairness within an arbitrarily punitive system, their logic is met with absurdity at every turn. A sharp parody of Kafka’s The Trial, The Trial: In Absurdia skewers bureaucracy, legal quirks, and the limits of fairness, blending witty dialogue, surreal twists, and biting satire. Doors open: 6.45pm Performance: 7pm - 8pm Cancel by: 22/09/2025 If you have any questions, please email drama@innertemplesocieties.org
