The Jury, an Online Radio Play Musical

London, UK - You NEED to give this a listen. Sent to us by the composer/lyricist/producer Ashley M A Walsh, The Jury is a new and original musical that just finished an acclaimed Off-West End run Upstairs at the Gatehouse Theatre. Below you will find a radio play version of the piece that has been recorded and split up into five separate episodes for your listening pleasure, and these episodes will be available until the official UK lockdown is over. The Jury also features a book by Amy Fletcher, additional lyrics by T. Michael Vest, and direction by Joseph Meighan.

From the submission:

Twelve strangers collide in a controversial case that will change them forever. The pressure is on to unanimously decide on a verdict but they are stuck in a deadlock. Putting their personal morals to the test, they find themselves lost in a labyrinth of circumstantial evidence confusing fact with fiction. Breaking almost every rule in the process, they finally conclude on a verdict … But is it the right verdict? They learn that the truth will soon come out as a secret past comes to a conclusion. This intense musical will have you on the edge of your seat and leave you questioning your own moral compass.
