Witness for the Prosecution
19 June 2019
A great thriller from Agatha Christie, I would highly recommend this performance! The actors and actresses played their parts brilliantly and it really was entertainment on a cliff-edge, with the audience gripping the end of their seats. I would recommend anyone going to see this performance not to read the story beforehand as viewers are informed all of the way through the storyline, and reading up will ruin the surprises. My friend and I booked tickets which were behind a pillar and although we were told this when we booked the seats, I would recommend that the venue does not sell these seats in the future. In the second half we abandoned our cheaper sears and sat in two spare seats nearer to the stage which was a great call as not only did we see the performance closer up (our choice to book cheaper seats remember), we also got to see the beauty of London's County Hall and all of it's splendour. A really great performance and I would highly recommend this to anyone considering this.

Will leave you questioning everything...

We sat in the Jury and yes you are part of the play... it is worth the additional money. It twists and turns from start to finish, you will end up questioning everything you saw and days after we are still talking about it. It’s a court drama set in a court, it’s intimate and perfectly cast.
