Following critical acclaim for The Wipers Times, Ian Hislop and
Nick Newman have once again taken inspiration from real life events
for their new play Trial by Laughter. William Hone, the forgotten
hero of free speech, was a bookseller, publisher and satirist. In
1817, he stood trial for 'impious blasphemy and seditious libel'.
The only crime he had committed was to be funny. Worse than that he
was funny by parodying religious texts. And worst of all, he was
funny about the despotic government and the libidinous monarchy. A
Watermill Theatre production.
