Barbarism To Verdict

Barbarism To Verdict (1994) by Justin Fleming – Sold by Crappy Old Books

Enter the courtroom of chaos with Barbarism To Verdict, Justin Fleming’s razor-sharp, darkly satirical play that slams together ancient themes and modern absurdity with theatrical flair. Published in 1994 by Angus & Robertson, this biting legal farce interrogates the intersection of law, language, and lunacy—served with a generous dose of wit and theatrical bravado.

With echoes of Kafka, Wilde, and the evening news, Fleming drags justice through the mud with glee, setting his characters against a system where guilt and innocence are relative, reason is optional, and rhetoric rules the day. It’s funny, furious, and ferociously smart—just the sort of thing that makes you laugh, then wince, then wonder if we ever really left the barbarism behind.

Condition: Some marginal notes from a clearly disgruntled amateur actor, and a faint smell of damp halls and over-rehearsed monologues.

Crappy Old Books: We don’t judge. We just sell the evidence.
