What’s on at The Jury Experience in Auckland?
Diamonds, lies, and a dead man
Inside The Jury Experience in Auckland, you take a seat where money whispers louder than grief. A high-profile death hangs over the room; diamonds glint, motives blur. Witnesses contradict themselves, timelines buckle, and the missing pieces feel intentional, while loyalties fracture quietly. The wealthy circle close ranks; power tilts the floor under your feet. You listen, you doubt, you weigh stories that refuse to align. Commit only to what you can defend, because certainty never shows.
What is The Jury Experience?
The Jury Experience is a 60-minute theatrical courtroom drama that combines live performances, multimedia storytelling, and audience participation. This immersive event challenges you to confront philosophical, moral, and scientific dilemmas as professional actors deliver compelling arguments and testimonies. Set in a realistic courtroom environment, witnesses take the stand, lawyers present opening and closing arguments, and evidence is displayed on screens for jurors to analyse.
