The Dock Brief and Edwin use barbed wit and judicial humour to show that the law can make an ass of any of us. In The Dock Brief, an incompetent barrister is asked to represent the lugubrious Mr Fowle who confesses to murdering his jovial wife. Although the two of them rehearse a masterly defence in the cell, when they reach the courtroom everything goes horribly wrong.

In Edwin, retired High Court Judge, Fennimore Truscott can't break the habit of trying as many people as he can - in his imagination. But when he turns his overly suspicious mind towards his wife's friendship with the next door neighbour, he opens up a can of worms.

Legal Fictions is currently showing at The Savoy Theatre, The Strand, London and stars Edward Fox, whose film credits include The Day Of The Jackal, A Bridge Too Far and Gandhi.
