Trial of the Fifteen

Step into a dramatic courtroom setting where history takes the stand. Fifteen compelling characters—each drawn from Norfolk Island’s rich past—step forward to share their stories, revealing an island shaped by adventure, hardship, resilience, and cultural blending.

As the trial unfolds, you’ll witness the island’s earliest chapters, from Polynesian visitation and European discovery to the brutal realities of the convict era. The narrative then shifts to the arrival of the Pitcairn Islanders, whose descendants form the heart of Norfolk’s modern community.

Engaging, immersive, and often deeply moving, this long-running production has captivated more than 35,000 visitors over the past decade. It’s a powerful and entertaining way to experience the people and events that forged Norfolk Island’s unique identity.
