Original: 'Jaw-dropping' play based on Pelicot rape trial comes to London for one night https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/sep
A play based on the Pelicot rape trial, the French mass rape case in which Gisèle Pelicot was drugged and assaulted by dozens of men, has come to London for a single-night performance. Reviewers have described the production as jaw-dropping, and it has drawn attention for bringing the landmark case to the British stage.
Why now: The Pelicot trial remains a major subject of international debate about sexual violence and consent, so a theatrical staging of it draws strong interest.
