A CAPTIVATING production based on true-crime events comes to Exeter’s Corn Exchange next month when Tigerslane Studios present Murder Trial Tonight - The Doorstep Case at the venue on February 13.

A mother returns home in the early hours of the morning after a night out celebrating her birthday, only to find her daughter murdered on her doorstep. The boyfriend of the daughter has been charged with the murder. Is the boyfriend guilty of murder, or is the killer still at large?

With a dedicated team of storytellers, technicians and performers, the company continues to break down the fourth wall and bring true-crime stories to life in an unparalleled way.

The production, currently on a third successful tour of the UK, begins on screen, giving the audience the backdrop and opening to the true-crime story.

Then, the action moves to the stage for a live murder trial, immersing the audience in a fast-paced courtroom experience.

“This isn’t just a theatre play, it’s very much 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.

“As members of the jury, the audience plays a crucial role in this thrilling murder mystery. Both the prosecution and defence present their cases, cross-examine witnesses, and at the end of the show, the audience deliberates and delivers their verdict - Guilty or Not Guilty.”

At the end of the trial, footage of the murder is revealed.

Question is– did the jury deliver the right verdict? Each season is based on a true story, with a disclaimer that names, events, and dates have been altered for dramatisation purposes.
