Murder Trial Tonight Death of a Landlord

New Case, Familiar Thrill

Victor Sloane, a powerful landlord, is discovered dead in his office—his young child the only witness. Tenant Tre Bennet, struggling with mental health challenges and eviction threats, is charged with the murder.

As jurors, you’ll hear prosecution and defense counsels argue their case, witnesses being cross-examined, and critical evidence brought to the table. The show is being BSL interpreted, ensuring this gripping courtroom drama is accessible to all as you prepare to deliver your verdict. Then, by order of the Judge, you’ll deliberate in real time with fellow audience members and decide: Guilty or Not Guilty.

At the close of the trial, the shocking real-life outcome of the case is revealed on the big screen. The question is: will you get it right?

“This isn’t just a show. It’s a test of our own biases and empathy,” says Director Graham Watts, returning for a fourth time. “It forces you to confront uncomfortable truths about society and our justice system.”

We will have a BSL interpreter attending the 17 May show.
