The play on the main stage of RAMT was directed by the theater's artistic director Alexey Vladimirovich Borodin. The basis of the production was the Oscar-winning screenplay by Abby Mann about the "small Nuremberg trial," where cases of judges who served the fascist state were heard. In 1961, based on Abby Mann's screenplay, director Stanley Kramer made his best film. The legal drama was nominated for an Oscar in 11 categories and won the highest film award for Best Actor (Maximilian Schell) and Best Screenplay. According to Alexey Borodin, his production will continue the conversation with the audience on vital, universal themes. The play is a powerful and highly relevant statement about what justice and responsibility are. On stage - Nuremberg, 1948. Two years ago, the trial of the largest fascist criminals ended. Now one of the "small trials" has begun: on the defendants' bench are judges who worked for the Hitler regime. A provincial judge from the States has come here to preside over the trial. One of the defendants does not recognize the legality of this proceeding and does not intend to cooperate with either the court or the lawyer. But then something unexpected happens: this defendant delivers a confession speech, giving the defense no chance to justify themselves. The play lasts 2 hours.
