Immersive courtroom show in which the audience sits as the jury and casts a live verdict on a true murder case.
Murder Trial Tonight returns to Connexin Live on Saturday 24 April 2027, with A Death in the Family marking its fifth season. It's a true-crime courtroom experience where the audience takes the place of the jury, and the case this time is a heavy one: a devoted mother and wife found murdered in her own kitchen, with a member of her own family standing accused.
The format is straightforward. You sit in the courtroom and watch as the prosecution and the defence present their cases, each laying out the twists, the arguments and the evidence. Once both sides have had their say, you cast your verdict live via QR code to help determine the outcome. Only after the audience's decision is in is the truth behind the real-life case revealed on the big screen.
It's the fifth time the show has run, following four previous sold-out seasons, and this particular case is described as its most gripping yet. Because it's based on a real murder, it's recommended for ages 16 and over. If you're fancying a bit more out of the night, there's a VIP premium experience available through Ticketmaster with upgraded seats, pre-show dining or a complimentary drink in the lounge.
