Silence In Court cast with Taggart creator Glenn Chandler

Enjoyable and interesting.The audience were all fully involved and it was in a great setting. Everybody was discussing it on the way out.

I really enjoyed Silence in Court. I believe it is a very unique piece of theatre with the audience getting to choose between sitting on the jury (who deliberate and reach a verdict) or sitting in the public gallery.
It is extremely contemporary legally and very cleverly done (in reality a case like this would take place over weeks or months but is cleverly structured so you don't feel short changed by it only taking place in an hour).
The acting is exemplary (I have a legal background and thus an extensive experience of different courtrooms and can honestly say that there is no difference between this 'court' and any Crown Court in this country).
This is especially so given that a significant part of the piece is impromptu with jurors getting to ask questions of those giving evidence and the answers they provided were wholly convincing.
Ultimately, I would recommend everyone sees this as it really does have something for everyone (crime, drama, there were even a few comic moments) and I don't believe there is anything remotely similar out there. It really is something special.

Excellent show. Well acted and superb use made of the audience as jurors. I would thoroughly recommend it.
