The Liberty Truck. Kalisher Trust Charity Event
Event Information
Description
Colonial Kenya, at the tail-end of World War Two. A young European servicewoman is brutally murdered. A young African man stands accused. As the legal proceedings work towards their conclusion – is British justice itself on trial?
In a year which has already seen reports on the effects of racial bias in the law and areas of public life from David Lammy and the government’s Race Audit, The Kalisher Trust Theatre Event hopes to provoke debate about the present by turning its dramatic searchlight on a case from the past.
Commissioned specifically for this event 'The Liberty Truck' is based on an actual event and will be a world premier play reading performance.

Organiser of The Liberty Truck. Kalisher Trust Charity Event
The Kalisher Trust is a legal charity which helps young people develop the power of advocacy and supports those who aspire to become criminal barristers. A key annual event in The Kalisher Trust’s fundraising calendar is the star-studded play reading in Middle Temple Hall. Each year the Kalisher Players, led by Artistic Director, Joe Harmston, mount a new play presented in ‘radio drama’ format with live music and sound effects. The goal is not only to offer a highly enjoyable and entertaining evening but also to use the play’s material to raise themes pertinent to the work of the Trust.
