''The Verdict Of Perugia'' ((ドイツ語:Das Urteil von Perugia)) is a German stage play written by Stefan C. Limbrunner that had its premiere performance on 17 September 2015 at a theatre called "Cabaret des Grauens" (also known as "Cabaret am Bichl") in Burghausen Germany. It is notable for being the first theatrical adaptation ever done of the real life Meredith Kercher murder case, and the miscarriage of justice concerning Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito that followed in its aftermath. The play is therefore to be classified as a half – documentary true crime play and a classical courtroom drama. The play depicts the Nencini trial that took place from September 2014 until March 2015 in Florence, Italy. The play ran from 17 September 2015 until 10 October 2015. It has a running time of 3 hours. == Background == The two act play is based on official courtroom transcripts, publicly available police documents and files as well as newspaper reports and the authors own research. It is not an adaptation of Amanda Knox book "Waiting To Be Heard" nor of Raffaele Sollecito’s book "Honour bound" but an original play. Not less than eight years of following the case, three years of research, studying of all accessible material and evidence and one year of writing were invested into the play. The official press folder explains the purpose of the play: ''"The Verdict Of Perugia" is an attempt to recreate a real trial, with the real facts, the real argumentative line, using authentic photographic and video material, in the form of an exciting suspense play, a successor of classic courtroom dramas like "Inherit The Wind", "12 Angry Men" and "Judgment At Nuremberg". The sequence of events and wording of the Nencini trial had to be condensed and partially fictionalized for dramatic reasons. Some of the characters, like Amanda Knox, who were not present in person at the Nencini trial, although their statements and witness depositions were provided to the Judges, were shown testifying to the court within the play, in order to keep the plot vivid and lively.'' Some real life persons have been amalgamated into fictitious characters in order to make it possible to tell the story. The defense attorney in the play, Vincente Petroscaglia, is based on Carlo Dalla Vedova and Luciano Girgha, while prosecutor Dottoressa Carla Collodi (intentionally named after Pinocchio author Carlo Collodi), was based on both Giuliano Mignini and Manuela Comodi. The Play was written to be performed by seven live actors, all male and all female witnesses played by the same two actors. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Verdict of Perugia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
