| Summary | "裁判 (Saiban)" by Elmer Rice is a play written in the early 20th century. The work revolves around a murder trial involving the central character, Robert Strickland, who is accused of killing a prominent banker named Gerald Trask. The narrative explores not only the courtroom drama but also the intricate relationships and past events that led to the crime. The opening of the play sets a tense courtroom scene, introducing various characters involved in the trial, including jurors, the prosecutor, and defense attorney. The prosecution outlines the case against Strickland, suggesting that he conspired to commit robbery and murder to settle a financial debt with Trask. As the trial progresses, critical backstories are revealed, including Strickland's previous financial struggles and the dynamics within the Trask family, creating an atmosphere steeped in suspense and moral ambiguity. The interplay between the characters and the unfolding courtroom procedures hints at deeper themes of guilt, innocence, and the complexity of human relationships, engaging the audience right from the start.
