About the Play

The very timely theme of justice administration is tackled by the multi-layered story of "The Verdict". Frank Galvin, a washed-up alcoholic lawyer, takes on the task of seeking justice for his young client, Deborah Kate, who falls into a coma due to medical malpractice at the "Saint Catherine" hospital of the Catholic Church in Boston. The defendants in the case are the hospital's prominent doctors, represented by the ruthless and powerful lawyer Ed Concannon. The quest for truth and moral vindication of the victim goes through many obstacles and twists. Frank Galvin will confront the absurdity of institutions and the hypocrisy of the powerful. Deborah Kate becomes the starting point of a new relationship with himself and the essence of his life. The story of "The Verdict" is none other than the clash between the corrupt system of power and the individual who fights with honesty and dignity for a fairer and more humane world.

The movie "The Verdict" (1982) by Sidney Lumet, starring Paul Newman, received five Oscar nominations and five Golden Globe nominations, while the play has been staged multiple times in world theater, receiving positive reviews and comments from the audience and critics.
