Overview
“You love the attention, you always have.”
1978. Holly, a young heiress, sits in a California prison awaiting trial for her role in a string of armed robberies that have captivated the nation. Her only hope? Her hotshot lawyer, Robert—who might make his name, if he can save hers.
2017. Robert, now one of the most famous attorneys in America, faces a different kind of trial: the court of public opinion. In a last-ditch bid for redemption, he turns to the one former client who could help him plead his case. But will she?
Following Farm Hall’s record-breaking run and West End transfer, Katherine Moar returns to Jermyn Street Theatre with her second play, inspired by the trial of Patty Hearst. Rising star Josh Seymour directs this world premiere, plunging us into the psychedelic swirl of celebrity, violence, and scandal of 1970s America.
