The Jury Experience - Frankenstein on Trial: The Man Who Defied God

A courtroom drama staged at Miracle Theatre in Washington, where the audience sits as the jury and decides whether Dr. Victor Frankenstein is guilty or not guilty of the deaths that followed a forbidden experiment.

This games and mysteries outing places the audience in the role of jurors. Testimonies are heard and evidence is laid out, and at key moments the audience votes, with each choice steering hidden angles of the case. The trial centers on Dr. Victor Frankenstein, whose experiment produced a creature assembled from human remains. That creature has already been convicted of murder, so the court must decide whether its creator should answer for the killings that followed.

Participants follow each witness, note contradictions, and weigh the arguments put forward by both sides. Because the votes change the direction of the case, the outing is presented as different from one session to the next. The closing moment belongs to the jury, which delivers a verdict of guilty or not guilty.

The format suits groups of friends and visitors looking for an interactive outing rather than a conventional play. It takes place at Miracle Theatre, and the venue is wheelchair accessible, with a wheelchair zone available.
