Inspired by the events of and around the Depp v Heard Defamation lawsuit, The Defamation by Jen Tucker visualises an afterlife where a woman’s fate is decided by trial. But something is rotten in this court. When Charity, loosely based on Heard herself, arrives in the afterlife and encounters several of Shakespeare’s heroines, the true injustice of the court is revealed as patterns begin to emerge. Written in blank verse and combining past and present in a thought-provoking collision, The Defamation explores the treatment of women in the legal arena in the 17th and 21st centuries alike.
