Frankenstein on Trial: The Man Who Defied God: Will Chicago Deliver Justice?
The case turns on a decision made nearly 20 years ago, when Victor Frankenstein created a being named Adam; now, after the creature has committed multiple murders, the trial asks where responsibility truly lies. As evidence and testimony unfold, you’re asked to weigh a difficult contradiction: can a creator be blamed for setting a life in motion, or does individual agency make Adam solely accountable for his actions? In this jury, the line between invention and consequence never stays still.
Death on the Port Side
When power, lust, and youthful bravado intersect on the water, destinies change in a flash. After a high-speed collision leaves lives shattered, the ensuing trial probes every motive: Was it a play for lost love? Envy turned lethal? Or was fate the real culprit on the port side that night?
What is The Jury Experience?
The Jury Experience is an immersive trial simulation that combines live theater, compelling storytelling and use of multimedia. The setup is simple: actors play the prosecution, defense and the accused, spinning a tale of intrigue and drama. The witnesses testify, objections fly and the gavel slams with authority.
