Laura Bates

The Trial

 
Hay Festival 2022, 

A plane crash sees seven teenagers washed up on a desert island, and their first thought is survival. But a terrible secret from a party the night before has followed them ashore. A thought-provoking drama exploring themes of consent, sexism and complicity. Laura Bates is founder of the Everyday Sexism Project and writes regularly for the New York Times, Guardian and Telegraph. She has been awarded an MBE for services to gender equality.

Mae damwain awyren yn gweld saith o bobl ifanc yn eu harddegau yn cael eu golchi i fyny ar ynys, a'r peth cyntaf maen nhw’n feddwl amdano ydy goroesi. Ond mae cyfrinach ofnadwy o barti y noson gynt wedi eu dilyn i’r lan. Drama bryfoclyd sy'n archwilio’r themâu cydsyniad, rhywiaeth a chymhlethdodau. Laura Bates yw sylfaenydd y Prosiect Everyday Sexism, ac mae hi’n ysgrifennu'n rheolaidd ar gyfer y New York Times, Guardian a’r Telegraph. Dyfarnwyd MBE iddi am ei gwasanaethau i gydraddoldeb rhywiol.
