About The Show
Rock Trial was the culmination of an idea in Justin Morley's head that had stewed for many years. His idea, to update the Trial by Jury he loved for the new millennium using modern music.
It was first performed by Manchester Universities Gilbert and Sullivan Society (MUGSS) in 2005, and the thought of bring it to the fringe has remained in people's minds. This year Rock Trial is finally coming to the fring with Accend Productions.
The plot is unchanged from the G&S original and people will recognise the tunes, just presented in a new way.
