Immersive courtroom trial in which the audience serves as the jury and decides the fate of Dr. Victor Frankenstein.
The Jury Experience brings Frankenstein on Trial: The Man Who Defied God to the Granada Theater on Saturday, January 16, 2027. It's an immersive courtroom drama that turns the audience into the jury, so you're not just watching a play—you're deciding the outcome. Professional actors stage a live trial, and the defendant's fate rests in the hands of the room.
The defendant is Dr. Victor Frankenstein, and the case is exactly what the title suggests: the man who defied God. The show runs about 60 minutes and blends storytelling with live theatre to raise philosophical, moral, and scientific questions, with dark twists and harsh truths along the way. Because you're sitting in the jury box, the whole thing feels less like a performance and more like a deliberation. You'll hear the evidence, listen to the arguments, and then come to a verdict.
This isn't a one-off production. The Jury Experience has been staged in more than 40 cities and has earned 4-5 star ratings from thousands of participants, so the format is well-worn. The actors handle the heavy lifting of the trial, but the final word belongs to the audience. If you've ever spent a movie or a book arguing about whether Frankenstein was the real monster or just a man who went too far, this is your chance to actually make a ruling on it.
