The Murder Trial Live

Interesting and enjoyable afternoon!
I was initially put off by some of the negative reviews but I'm glad I decided to go into today's event with an open mind. I will caveat though I was kindly gifted my ticket with tea from a friend. Yes the chairs aren't the most comfortable but I've been less comfortable in some london theatres. Take a cushion and you'll be fine. Yes the drinks are more expensive then if you bought them from a supermarket, but I didn't find the pricing extortionate. Not dissimilar to what you'd pay at a concert or theatre show. And yes there are portaloos but again, I've used worse facilities! So now the negatives are out of the way I thought the tea was great, yummy sandwiches and lovely little cakes. The trial itself was engaging, well acted and interesting with a little humour injected in places. I genuinely struggled to reach a verdict and enjoyed hearing the different opinions of the other jurors. I had a great, fun and very different Sunday afternoon and I think some of these other critiques are overly harsh. Oh and I'm back home writing this review so in no way being influenced!!! The show does need a bit of polish but generally was very enjoyable.
