The Jury Experience: Diamonds, Lies, and a Dead Man

The Jury Experience: Immersive Courtroom Drama in Auckland

The Jury Experience is an interactive theatre event at The Dorothy Winstone Centre, Auckland, suited for audiences aged 12 and over who want to shape a high-stakes legal drama.

Step into the role of a juror in a live courtroom drama where you listen to witness testimonies, analyze conflicting evidence, and decide the verdict: guilty or not guilty. The case involves the disappearance of superstar Lana Tonneti’s $20 million necklace and her ex-driver standing trial for the theft. Contradictory statements and shifting timelines make it an intense, unpredictable experience.
