In Search of Justice  by Bertoit Brecht - Directed by Michael Fewks

In Search of Justice is set in a Nazi era German Courthouse.  The story focuses on Judge A as he tries to determine the appropriate sentencing for three Stormtroopers who brutalized a young Jewish man. The conflict arises not from whether a crime was committed, but from the political implications of punishing the Nazi stormtroopers. The Judge becomes aware of complications to sentencing as he searches for the truth from an Inspector, the Prosecutor and a senior Judge. Judge A is trying to find a "legal" justification that allows him to appear legitimate while actually serving the political demands of the Nazi regime.​
