      Set in Skipton, Yorkshire, in 1810, this adaptation transforms Kleist's original German verse into a vibrant Yorkshire dialect. The narrative centers on Judge Adam, the town's only justice official, who faces scrutiny from the visiting magistrate, Walter Clegg, investigating potential misconduct. With a blend of humor, earthy dialogue, and sharp satire, the play features a cast of four women and five men, exploring themes of justice and accountability in a small community.
