Witness for the Prosecution

You have been summoned for jury service...

Step inside the magnificent surroundings of London County Hall and experience the intensity and drama of Agatha Christie’s gripping story of justice, passion and betrayal in a unique courtroom setting.

Leonard Vole stands accused of murdering a widow in order to inherit her wealth, and the stakes are high: convince the jury – and the audience – of his innocence, or face the hangman’s noose. That is, after he’s survived the shocking witness testimony.

Don’t miss this landmark stage production on London’s Southbank. 

See you in court.

    I said to my partner I've received an email asking to review Witness for the Prosecution, her response was "can we leave two reviews? with one just for the last ten minutes." Up until that point it was an excellent play, engaging with great acting and script. The last 10 minutes became something like a Vaudeville comedy though, with all the subtlety of a hammer to the face.
