"Justice?"

A documentary drama staging the 1950s murder trials of Derek Bentley and Ruth Ellis as if in the Old Bailey's public gallery.

Jeff Rozelaar's documentary drama invites audiences into the "public gallery" at the Old Bailey for the trials of Derek Bentley and Ruth Ellis, two controversial 1950s murder cases that divided the nation. The show asks whether, as a juror, you would have spared the defendants from the hangman's noose. The page notes a 2026 resonance, citing Justice Secretary David Lammy's July announcement of a conditional pardon in the Ruth Ellis case following a campaign by her grandchildren. There is one performance at 2pm on Sunday 15 November 2026.
