Ever wondered what it’s really like to sit on a jury?

Or to carefully assess the evidence and convict a criminal? Well, now you can.

For the first time in history, a touring murder trial will visit Cork on Saturday, October 5th, 2019, inviting crime junkies to experience all the theatre and debate of the justice system… served up with a delicious two-course dinner.

Dining and drama

The award-winning Murder Trial Live, produced by the ITAE Group, begins at 6.30pm at the Clayton Hotel Silver Springs.

First, before the court room drama unfolds, you’ll enjoy a meal with your fellow jurors.

Later, when defendant Mr Frank Lane is called to the stand, prosecution and defence barristers will lead you through the evidence.

Here’s what we know already:

‘Frank Lane is currently in police custody awaiting trial, charged with the murder of his wife Alison Lane. Alison’s body has never been found. Mr and Mrs Lane we’re married for 20 years and Mr Lane owned several businesses including a coach and haulage firm as well as a small agricultural plant. Alison went missing in March 2017 and has never been heard of since.’

Guilty or innocent? You decide. Tickets start at €70, including dinner, here.
