But we will be judging if you don’t all rise to grab tickets to Trial By Laughter at The Lowry Theatre. Following the true case of 19th century free speech hero William Hone, this hilarious play is based on the critically acclaimed BBC Radio 4 drama and has received rave reviews from the likes of The Daily Telegraph.

  • Following the true story of 19th century bookseller, publisher and satirist William Hone, this hilarious play explores Hone’s trial for parodying religion, the government and the monarchy
  • Hislop and Newman examine this forgotten hero of free speech and wonder if our modern day press has any greater freedom over 200 years after the trial of Hone
  • Based on their critically acclaimed original BBC Radio 4 drama of the same name
