Meg Walter took a trip to foggy London town this month to see one of the most infamous trials that took place in Utah adapted into a rowdy musical.
When asked to describe “Gwyneth Goes Skiing,” the play Joseph Martin wrote and performs in with his partner, Linus Karp, Martin says, “The show is the Gwyneth Paltrow ski trial, at times not as you remember it, and at times even more real than you remember it.”
"The livestreamed trial centered around one of America’s most iconic celebrities and became a pop-culture phenomenon made more viral by the antics of many of the people who were part of the trial," Walter writes.
"The heightened reality created by Joseph Martin and Linus Karp both highlights the truth of the trial, often stranger than fiction, and the whimsy surrealism possible when life becomes art, and one finds oneself watching their hometown shown on a stage 5,000 miles from home."
