Description

The case notes are written in Bulgarian. The lawyers haven’t been given instructions. And the Judge may or may not know how the
law actually works.
Welcome to The ‘Bar’ – a dark, disturbing farce of the law.

Set in a courtroom with increasingly deteriorating conditions, stupendously esoteric speeches, and presided over by a
megalomaniac Judge, the play is an exploration of power and institution – those fragile boundaries that purport to protect civil society from its own worst impulses.

And, as the story wears on, it becomes clear that the lawyers are not just in search of a case, but fighting for their lives; and that the world, as we know it, has probably fallen apart.
