Join the jury in Murder Trial Tonight in Nottingham

After three tours and more than 125,000 audience members serving as jurors, the production returns to the stage with a new Death of a Landlord, a fresh case that once again puts the audience in the place of the jury.

A powerful landlord is discovered dead in his office. His young child is the only witness. The landlord’s tenant, struggling with mental health and threats of eviction, is charged with the murder.

As jurors, the audience will hear prosecution and defence counsels argue their case, witnesses being cross-examined and critical evidence brought to the court. Then, by order of the judge, members of the audience will deliberate with each other and deliver their verdict: guilty or not guilty.

At the close of the trial, the real-life outcome of the case is revealed on the big screen.

Director Graham Watts said: “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.”

From sold-out houses in London’s West End to packed venues across the rest of the UK and Ireland, Murder Trial Tonight has earned five-star reviews from critics and audiences alike. Its blend of immersive true-crime storytelling and live jury drama has captivated seasoned theatre-goers and first-time visitors, sparking debate long after the curtain falls.

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.”

With demand at an all-time high, production company Tigerslane Studios is also preparing to take the show overseas, bringing the show to new audiences around the world.

Murder Trial Tonight is recommended for ages 16 and above. It can be seen at the Albert Hall on Saturday February 21 and Sunday February 22. Visit murdertrialtonight.seetickets.com to book.
