The Trials and Future-tense

The Trials, by Dawn King
It is the near future, the climate emergency is gathering pace, and our generation is being judged. The jurors are children. But are they delivering justice, or just taking revenge?

In Dawn King's The Trials, those who are responsible for the climate emergency are being judged - literally - by a younger generation.

The Trials was first performed at the Düsseldorfer Schauspielhaus in January 2022, and was a finalist for the Susan Smith Blackburn Prize.

Future-tense, curated by Keagan Carr Fransch
A play anthology, Future-tense is a collection of six 10-minute plays. The stories all ruminate on the future of Aotearoa and are performed by members of the ATC Youth Company 2023.

These imaginations on our future are darkly funny, sharp, and insightful.

From an AI robot at the construction of a new Waitematā harbour bridge, to the last descendants of tangata whenua trying to find their way back to the culture that's been stripped from them, this collection of stories is thought-provoking, inspiring, and entertaining.

Featuring writing from Tāmaki Makaurau-based writers; Alex de Vries, Shelby Kua, Te Huamanuka Luiten-Apirana, Tuakoi Ohia, Vira Paky & Zane Wood.
