In short What to expect

Step into an immersive courtroom trial. As members of the jury, the power to deliver justice rests entirely in your hands. Debate the case, question the motives and cast your votes throughout the show. Decide who walks free... and who pays the price. This is jury duty like you've never experienced it before.

Program The Deadly Boat Ride

On a summer night, the son of a powerful politician took the wheel of the family's speedboat - an ex-lover and old friends on board. Hours later, one was dead, one in a coma, and the son is facing a murder charge. Was it an act of jealous rage? Or is there far more to this tragedy than meets the eye?

We'd love to have known what the verdict really was but I guess that kept us talking afterwards

Overall we enjoyed the experience.. It's just a pity it didn't go longer, especially when you travel a 3hr round trip to see it..

My husband and I both really enjoyed this! Very entertaining!

Another fabulous Jury Experience for me tonight! Excellent role playing with realistic language used and intriguing scenarios made for an excellent evening at the beautiful Hawthorn Arts Centre. And with only a 3% difference in the ultimate verdict, we were always left wondering which way this case would go!! 😁👩‍⚖️👍

Brilliant hour of entertainment and lots of fun with audience.

Very entertaining.

More detail and wanted it to go for longer!!! Was really good and interesting though
