Murder Trial Tonight IV - Death of a Landlord

London, UK – July 2025 – Tigerslane Studios, the company behind the UK’s most talked-about immersive true-crime theatre, today announces Season 4 of Murder Trial Tonight. After three seasons and more than 125,000 audience members serving as jurors, the production returns with Death of a Landlord. A fresh case that once again puts you in the front row to a true crime that echoes long after the gavel strikes.  

Known for blurring the lines between stagecraft and social experiment, Murder Trial Tonight continues to push the boundaries of courtroom drama and immersive storytelling. 

Victor Sloane, a powerful landlord, is discovered dead in his office - his young child the only witness. Tenant, Tre Bennet, struggling with mental health challenges and eviction threats, is charged with the murder. 

As jurors, you’ll hear prosecution and defence counsels argue their case, witnesses being cross-examined, and critical evidence brought to the table. Then, by order of the Judge, you’ll deliberate in real time with fellow audience members and deliver a verdict: Guilty or Not Guilty. 

At the close of the trial, the shocking real-life outcome of the case is revealed on the big screen. The question is, will you get it right?  

“This isn’t just a show. It’s a test of our own biases and empathy,” says West End Director Graham Watts. “It forces you to confront uncomfortable truths about society and our justice system.” 

What’s next? 

From sold-out houses in London’s West End to packed venues across the rest of the UK and Ireland, Murder Trial Tonight has earned five-star reviews from critics and audiences alike. Its blend of immersive true-crime storytelling and live jury drama has captivated seasoned theatre-goers and first-time visitors, sparking debate long after the curtain falls.
