The Accused - (Modern Plays) by Jeffrey Archer (Paperback)

About the Book

A courtroom drama using the audience as jury, as if they were in the Central Criminal Court at the Old Bailey. The audience must decide - did Dr Sherwood murder his wife? Was Jennifer Mitchell his mistress? Which of his alibis should they believe?

Book Synopsis

Innocent or guilty? You decide.

Jeffrey Archer's play, The Accused, is a tense courtroom drama with a difference. The audience will act as the jury, as if they were in the Central Criminal Court at the Old Bailey. You will have to decide... Did Dr Sherwood murder his wife? Was Jennifer Mitchell his mistress? Which of his alibis should you believe.

The choice will keep you on the edge of your seats, and at the end of the trial you will be invited to deliver your verdict of guilty or not guilty. Once you have made that decision the play will continue - with one of two different endings, depending on your verdict. Only then will you finally discover the truth.

The Accused premiered at the Theatre Royal, Windsor, in September 2000.
