Lorilei Guillory
''Lorilei: A Meditation on Loss'' is a 2003 play by Tom Wright and Nicholas Harrington, based on a capital murder trial in Louisiana, United States. Theme The play tells the true story of Lorilei Guillory, whose six-year-old son, Jeremy, was murdered in 1992 in Iowa, Louisiana, by a man with schizophrenia. During the second trial of the man convicted of the crime, Ricky Langley, Guillory testified for the defendant, stating her opinion that he was mentally ill at the time of the offence and should not be sentenced to die. The retrial ended in a verdict of diminished capacity, rather than the original death sentence. A solo performance, the play is presented as a narrative constructed from the transcripts of the trial. It explores Guillory's struggle with the loss of her young child but also her compassion for the man who killed him. Staging and reception First staged in 2003 in Australia, the play has been presented around the world including at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2005. ...

It has religious and cultural significance in many societies.
