DUCK DUCK GOOSE: A theatrical evening with the Kalisher Trust

The Kalisher Trust

The Kalisher Trust is excited to host acclaimed new production “Duck Duck Goose”, for one night only.

The Honourable Society of the Middle Temple

About this eventInspired by the “Belfast rugby rape trial” in 2018, this incisive play by Irish writer Caitríona Daly explores the grey area of "he-said, she-said" allegations and was the winner of the Writers Guild of Ireland award for Best Theatre Script 2022. When his best friend becomes embroiled in a rape allegation, Chris Quinn offers his support. During the 2-year wait for the trial, loyalty, friendship, family ties and certainty are all put to the test. Full of moral ambiguity and psychological complexity, this viscerally-charged new play constantly shifts our perspective on ideas of consent, trust, and trial by social media.And now, at Middle Temple Hall (with special guests) – the Kalisher Trust invites you to an exclusive performance of this superb new production, for one night only!

With a firm belief that talent comes in many forms and that the criminal justice system should reflect the society it serves, the Kalisher Trust transforms the lives of aspiring and established junior criminal barristers by providing support, training and access to the profession for those from underrepresented groups who have exceptional promise but modest means. We start with educational outreach at secondary school level and are still there for those taking their first steps as fledgling barristers.About our annual theatrical eveningMiddle Temple hall is used to theatrics! And not just from its barrister members. In 1602, the hall was the venue for the first ever performance of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night. So it seems fitting that as a key event in our fundraising calendar, the annual Kalisher Trust play reading would take place there. The goal is not just to offer an evening of entertainment, but also to use the play’s material to raise themes pertinent to the work of Trust and wider criminal justice system.We look forward to welcoming you again this year.Tickets Prices:Students/Pupils (including third sixes)/Trainees/Paralegals: £15Junior Practitioners: £40Established Practitioners, Silks and Judges: £50
