The Jury Experience – The Trial of Marie Antoinette

Once the most powerful woman in France, Marie Antoinette now stands alone.

After a failed escape from Paris with her husband, King Louis XVI, she has been captured and brought back to face trial. To many, she is the symbol of everything wrong with the monarchy: Excess, indifference, and tyranny.  But is that the truth, or a story shaped by anger and desperation? With the king already condemned, she must now defend herself before a nation in revolt.

Was she a conspirator in treason or merely caught in the downfall of a crumbling regime? Did she act freely, or was she bound by the will of a powerful king and a rigid system? Was her escape an act of betrayal… or survival?

Throughout the experience, you will hear arguments, question motives, and confront the biases of history itself. In a time when voices like hers were rarely heard, should she be judged without being truly listened to?

At the end, the decision rests with you.  Get your tickets now for The Jury Experience – The Trial of Marie Antoinette in Manchester!
