Justice by Lizzie Nunnery

Episode 1 of 5

4 Extra Debut. Can justice act fairly in a world of haves and have nots? Tales inspired by medieval morality plays starring Rebecca Front.

Rebecca Front plays Eve in five stories about modern attitudes towards morality, inspired by medieval morality plays.

In this first tale, writer Lizzie Nunnery asks if justice can act fairly in a world of the haves and have nots?

In medieval times allegorical plays such as 'Mankind' and 'Everyman' were used to warn audiences that how they lived in the present would affect their afterlife - whether they would end up in Hell, Purgatory or Heaven. But in a secular age how do we deal with the nature of sins and virtues?

Our attitude to good and evil is certainly less black and white. Is it bad to be proud; don't we deserve respect? Can't anger be used to promote change for the better and isn't envy what drives our materialistic lifestyle?

These five tales explore our attitudes to these questions through the character of 'Eve', a 21st-century Everywoman, played by Rebecca Front.
