Monday 20th – Saturday 25th February

Theatre Upstairs, Belasis Avenue, Billingham TS23 1EY

Billingham Players present - the first British performance of ‘Clarence Darrow’s Last Trial’, by Shirley Lauro

This play is set in 1932. It concerns the famous American lawyer Clarence Darrow. Having acted successfully in many high-profile cases, Darrow appears for the defence in a notorious case in Hawaii. Lieutenant Ramsey and his mother-in-law have been tried for murdering a Hawaiian man who allegedly raped Ramsey’s wife, but the jury failed to return a unanimous verdict. Darrow believes that he can successfully defend them in the re-trial, but Prosecuting Counsel is a young Hawaiian woman. It’s a gripping drama, based on a real case. 

Ticket prices : Monday : £7 ( £5 concessions i.e. student/senior ),

All other performances : £10 (£8 concessions) 

From HK Housewares (Norton High Street), Perfect Fit (Station Road, Billingham), or the Tourist Information Office (The Shambles, Stockton High Street).

Macy Gray” The Sunday Times Culture
