Notes
Trial by Jury depicts, in one act, the trial of a breach of promise of marriage case. The plaintiff, Angelina, is an experienced woman (cougar), desperate to salvage something from her latest victim, the guileless Edwin, who has found greener grass and refuge from Angelina’s clutches in the company of another woman. The show is entirely sung; there is no spoken dialogue.
Directed by Wayne Vander Byl, this Trial by Jury will be set in the Old West in the style of an old-style TV western in which the circuit judge holds court in the local saloon. Western embellishments include set and costumes, the Usher (court attendant) cast as sheriff (who will have a revolver, which he will fire once, not at anyone), dancing girls, and a bartender.
