“Can you ever justify murder?”
Oxford Playhouse
Television journalist James Highwood has made his career out of challenging the British Justice System. Now, suddenly, it is Highwood himself who is challenged when he is brought to court on a charge of murder. Admitting the killing but pleading manslaughter, he perversely chooses to defend himself, pushing the tolerance of the court to its limits.
Tom Conti stars in this explosive courtroom drama debating whether it can ever be morally or lawfully justified to take another person’s life. This gripping play, full of twists and turns, makes the audience judge and jury, questioning whether it’s right to take the law into your own hands.
One of the UK’s most loved actors, Tom Conti won an Olivier Award in the West End and a Tony Award on Broadway for his performance in Whose Life is It Anyway? He was also nominated for an Oscar as Best Actor for his role in Reuben Reuben.
