It's True, It's True, It's True: Artemisia on Trial

Directed by Billy Barratt

And there’s blood pouring out of this man’s throat. Because these two women are beheading him - did I not mention that?

A gripping dramatisation of the 1612 trial of Agostino Tassi for the rape of the young painter Artemisia Gentileschi. Based on surviving court transcripts, Breach Theatre’s award-winning show blends history, myth and contemporary commentary to ask: how much has really changed in the last four centuries?
