Devonshire Colic

In Georgian times a crippling illness struck thousands of cider drinkers in the west of England. Their only relief was found in the waters at Bath Spa - relief that remained unexplained until the manned space programme of the 20th century. Twelve Good Men and True The Bar Theatrical Society re-enacts the trial in 1670 of William Penn and William Mead which established the right of a jury to return an independent verdict.
