How does The Jury Experience work?
Some of you may already be familiar with The Jury Experience—the show has been running in Hamburg for several months now, but new cases are regularly added to the program, providing you with fresh, exciting stories to analyze time and again.
The whole thing is more than just a simple play. Over the course of 60 to 75 minutes, you’ll become part of the jury in the midst of a gripping courtroom drama. This immersive theater format combines live acting, narrative elements, and complex moral dilemmas to offer you a first-class experience. You’ll listen to witness testimony, analyze various pieces of evidence, and ultimately vote as a jury on the outcome of the trial—and thus on the fate of the defendant.
What is “Diamonds, Lies, and a Dead Man” about?
Superstar Lana Tonneti’s $20 million necklace has vanished without a trace. At the center of the trial is her former chauffeur, Jack Clifton, who has been struggling with personal problems since his dismissal and is now accused of theft. But is he really the culprit—or does a more complex web of secrets and scandals lie behind the case?
As the trial progresses, new details keep coming to light that need to be analyzed. Contradictory statements, unanswered questions, and the role of Lana’s prominent social circle ensure that the truth is anything but clear-cut. In the end, it’s up to the jury to piece together the puzzle and reach a verdict.
