The best theatre to stream this month: the Gisèle Pelicot trial becomes an all-star play that ‘just floors you’
Swiss director Milo Rau's documentary play about the trial of men who drugged and raped Gisèle Pelicot will be livestreamed after selling out its London performance at the Young Vic on 30 November.
The four-hour documentary play, created with Servane Dècle, has been performed around the world. Young Vic boss Nadia Fall described the show as focusing on the facts rather than traditional theatrical elements, saying It just floors you.
