Interesting facts

The Rehearsal is a 1974 docudrama film written and directed by Jules Dassin. The film dramatizes the November 1973 Athens Polytechnic uprising that occurred during the Greek military junta of 1967–1974.

Production

The Trial was filmed secretly, on a shoestring budget, and in just four weeks in a New York studio (at 512 West and 19th Street New York, NY 10011).

The characters who participate in The Trial "play" either real people, themselves, or potential people, moving in and out of roles. The work itself is actually composed of its own plot, but also of songs and musical rehearsals, of authentic documentary material, such as reels of audio testimonies, photographs, and interviews.
