Murder in the Citizens' Jury is a dramatic monologue set in a citizens' jury where eight people debate climate solutions. A murder threatens the status of citizens' juries themselves. It is a drama exploring the ethical crisis of the Director of Public Prosecutions who has to decide whether to prosecute a murder. If he does so, he will alienate his family, and it will mean the end for citizens' assemblies - a form of direct democracy which many believe could be the silver bullet to avert a climate crisis. The audience are invited to help the DPP make the decision via a voting app and slips on their free programme which provides more information.

The event will be live streamed from https://www.youtube.com/@greenstoriesuk/streams from 3pm 11th November GMT. You will be able to view the performance and Q&A and participate virtually in the Q&A via the chat function.
