The Trial of God (as it was held on February 25, 1649, in Shamgorod) (Le procès de Shamgorod tel qu'il se déroula le 25 février 1649, first published in English in 1979 by Random House) is a play by Elie Wiesel about a fictional trial ("Din-Toïre",[1] or דין תּורה) calling God as the defendant. Though the setting itself is fictional, and the play's notes indicate that it "should be performed as a tragic farce",[2] he based the story on events he witnessed first-hand as a teenager in Auschwitz.[3] The play was reimagined for television in God on Trial by Frank Cottrell Boyce.
