Live courtroom murder trial based on a true story in which the audience acts as the jury and decides the verdict.
Murder Trial Tonight V: Death in the Family comes to the Princess Theatre in Torquay on Saturday 5 June 2027, starting at 7:30pm. It's the fifth instalment of the Murder Trial Tonight series, and it does exactly what the name suggests: it turns the theatre into a courtroom for a live murder trial.
The whole thing is based on a true story, staged in a courtroom setting with the trial playing out on stage. The twist is that you aren't just watching from the stalls. You take on the role of a jury member, watching the case unfold and listening to the evidence presented by both sides. Once the trial is over, you'll deliberate with the rest of the audience to reach a verdict: Guilty or Not Guilty.
If you've seen a previous one, this is a different case. Each tour covers a new scenario, so every show is a new night of drama rather than a repeat of the same story. This one is titled Death in the Family, and as with the others, the evidence is laid out in front of you to weigh up before you cast your vote.
