A POPULAR interactive court experience is returning for a fourth outing, including a date at Reading’s Hexagon theatre next month.
Tigerslane Studios has announced Season 4 of Murder Trial Tonight, its immersive true-crime theatre experience.
This time, the show returns with Death of a Landlord, Victor Sloane, a powerful landlord, is discovered dead in his office – his young child the only witness.
Tenant, Tre Bennet, struggling with mental health challenges and eviction threats, is charged with the murder.
As jurors, you’ll hear prosecution and defence counsels argue their case, witnesses being cross-examined, and critical evidence brought to the table.
Then, by order of the Judge, attendees deliberate in real time with fellow audience members and deliver a verdict: guilty or not guilty.
Founder and writer Steve Cummings said: “These cases follow you home–jurors don’t stop dissecting every twist and turn once they leave the courtroom.
“Hours, or even days, later, whether at the dinner table, in a pub or online, the debates are still raging.”
Director Graham Watts, returning for a fourth time, says: “This isn’t just a show, it’s a test of our own biases and empathy–it forces you to confront uncomfortable truths about society and our justice system.”
