Description A group of Wellington theatre makers are staging a semi-improvised show called A Trial at BATS Theatre in order to investigate the issues that TVNZ's controversial Kiwimeter survey has raised and to put the New Zealand justice system itself under the cauterising lights of the theatre for judgement. The satirical court case will follow real judicial procedures and conventions (with a degree of creative licence). Each night of the season will be a different stand-alone episode in a serial that will be documented online as it unfolds over the week.
