The Accused - The Psychology of a Murder Trial



Live music, original film, dancing, drama and psychological research: This is no ordinary Jury Duty!

Thurdsay 9th, Friday 10th, and Saturday 11th February, from 7 - 10pm.


Ladies and gentlemen of the jury. Join us for a trip back to the 1950s, and explore a turning-point in British legal history. This immersive science-theatre event combines the best creative and research talent Goldsmiths has to offer - with a healthy dose of 50s nostalgia!


Based on transcripts and court records of a high-profile 1950s murder trial, The Accused: The Psychology of a Murder Trial invites you to play the role of juror as we present a dramatisation of the crime, the case, and the testimony presented in court. Throughout the event, let the live music, drama, and dancing - devised, choreographed and performed by Goldsmiths students - immerse you in the sounds and style of the 1950s.


The event also includes two large-scale psychological research experiments, on which the researchers in the Forensic Psychology Unit will feed back results both throughout the night, and to all attendees after the event. It promises to be an entertaining and informative night, blending the arts and science.


Brought to you by Goldsmiths' award winning* Forensic Psychology Unit in collaboration with the Acting & Filmmaking Society and the Musical Theatre Society.


*The death of Jane Doe: The Psychology of a murder investigation - Winner of the CorpComms Magazine award for best communications by a public sector organisation (2016).


This event is proudly supported by the Goldsmiths Annual Fund.


For tickets:

We went to the first event - "The death of Jane Doe: The Psychology of a murder investigation", and it was fantastic. People threw themselves into the role of crime scene investigators. It was dark, realistic and super atmospheric.

Well worth booking!

    • In 2016 London City Airport began using concentrated flight paths. When there's a predominantly westerly wind, incoming aircraft approach from East London (north of the River). When there's a predominantly Easterly wind, incoming aircraft approach the airport from the West: circling through Forest Hill, Dulwich, Vauxhall, Tower Hamlets, Docklands. This latter flight path affects many of us in South East London. https://www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/what-london-assembly-does/questions-mayor/find-an-answer/london-city-airport-concentrated-flight-paths The planes going into City are often below 2,000 ft, so very noisy. Sometimes we have incoming Heathrow at the same time, flying higher. The early flights that I hear e.g. 04:30 are incoming to Heathrow. They are scheduled to land at 05:30 but are 'early'. Apparently the government allows a percentage of flights to arrive early and late (but these are now established as regular occurrences, informally part of the schedule). IMHO Londoners are getting very poor political representation on this issue. Incredible that if you want to complain about aircraft noise, you're supposed to contact the airport concerned! Preposterous and designed solely in favour of aviation expansion.
    • Yet another recommendation for Jafar. Such a nice guy, really reliable and fair. He fixed a problem with our boiler and then incredibly kindly made two more visits to replace a different part at no extra cost. 
    • I didn't have any problems with plane noise until city airport started flying planes to and from about 5-8 minutes apart from 5.30 am or  6 am,  and even with ear plugs and double glazing I am woken at about 6 well before I usually would wake  up. I have lived here since 1986 and it is relatively recently that the planes have been flying far too low over East dulwich. I very much doubt that they are headinbg to Heathrow or from Heathrow. As the crow flies we are much , MUCH closer to City Airport than Heathrow or Gatwick. I even saw one flying so low you could see all the windows, when I was in Peckham Rye Park.
