Interactive theatrical experience in which the audience acts as the jury in a live murder trial based on a true-crime case.
Murder Trial Tonight V - Death in the Family comes to the Sheffield City Hall Oval Hall on Saturday 3 April 2027, with two performances on the day: a matinee at 14:30 and an evening show at 19:30. If you've never come across the series, it's a theatrical experience that brings true-crime stories to life, and this particular production is titled Death in the Family.
The setup is what makes it: the audience sits as the jury in a live murder trial set in a courtroom. You watch the prosecution and the defence present their cases and cross-examine witnesses, and then you deliberate to deliver a verdict of Guilty or Not Guilty. Once the jury has spoken, the show reveals what really happened in the true case. It's a true-crime story played out in front of you, and you're the one deciding the outcome.
Reviewers have praised the acting and the immersive courtroom experience, so it's less about sitting back and watching and more about being part of the room. If you're into true crime, it's a chance to see a case built from the ground up rather than just hearing the summary afterwards.
