| Description |
Jilted Fiancee sues rock star - a very serious crime! Angelina, a self-absorbed young woman, is determined to get her due for breach of promise of marriage. Trial by Jury draws on Gilbert's training and brief practice as a barrister. Its breach-of-promise trial going awry reflects a common law tort of Victorian times. It is a non-too-subtle dig at judges, lawyers, the law and the legal system. |

| Further Information |
Gilbert and Sullivan’s Trial by Jury was by far the most ambitious project ever undertaken by Loosely Woven, a community-based performance troupe, in its 24-year history. The production was a logistical as well as artistic challenge. A total of 21 cast members, multiple crew, plus a seven-person music ensemble travelled to perform at 10 locations around the state.
