Justice: Conan Doyle

Players enact a courtroom drama set in early 20th-century London, taking roles as defense attorney, prosecutor, or members of the court. The group examines evidence, questions witnesses, and constructs legal arguments as the trial unfolds. Each case presents a single mystery with multiple possible resolutions, so the same facts can lead to different verdicts in different plays. This scenario recreates the investigation and trial following the suspicious death of a young journalist in 1907, with Scotland Yard narrowing suspects and only one defendant ultimately tried.
