True crime production to bring live murder trial to stage
A true crime production is set to be performed in Cardiff.
Tigerslane Studios has announced the launch of the third season of its 'true crime meets theatre' show.
Murder Trial Tonight- The Doorstep Case began its UK and Ireland run in February, bringing a live murder trial to the stage.
The unique show begins with a cinematic introduction to a true crime story before moving to the stage for a live courtroom experience.
The audience plays a key role as members of the jury, listening intently as both the prosecution and defence present their cases, cross-examine witnesses, and then the audience delivers a verdict.
At the end of the trial, footage of the murder is revealed, allowing the audience to question whether they have made the right decision.
The show is based on real events, but with a disclaimer that names, dates, and events have been changed for dramatic purposes.
"This isn't just a theatre play; it's a social experiment," said the show's West End director, Graham Watts.
"We aim to challenge perceptions and engage our audience in a way that goes beyond traditional theatre."
The new season will tour the UK and Ireland from February to June 2025, stopping in Cardiff for two nights on April 19 and 20.
Tickets for the upcoming season are now on sale.
Visit the Tigerslane Studios website for more information and to purchase tickets.
Tickets for the Cardiff show are also on sale via the New Theatre website.
