A new play will premiere in the Oak Court within Salisbury’s Guildhall, with the planet taking on 10 huge corporations, this Saturday.
The play is called Blue Pearl vs. The Ten Mega-Corps and is described as the 'trial of the century' and as 'a battle of the survival of the human race'.
Salisbury Radio's Andy Munns talked to the two creatives behind the production, Mike Doherty and Mark Thomas. You can listen to the full interview below:
Mike Doherty explains the story: “A Prosecution Barrister concerned for her young twins takes on ten global corporations for poisoning the planet. Her novel legal strategy faces serious hurdles in the courtroom. Can she convince the judge to regard Planet Earth as a being called Blue Pearl entitled to legal protection?
“Can she prove the ten corporations are guilty of attempted murder by poisoning the planet? Their Defence Barrister takes steps never seen in a court before to wreck the prosecution case.
“The prosecution's toughest hurdle comes when the defence demand Blue Pearl attends court for cross-examination. Her determination not to be beaten leads to some surreal twists. Survival of the human race is at stake. The audience is the jury”.
Performance times are 2.30 pm and 7.30 pm on Saturday, 29th March 2025, with tickets costing £15.
