Witness For The Prosecution

YOU HAVE BEEN SUMMONED FOR JURY SERVICE...

The production follows Leonard Vole, who is charged with killing a widow in order to inherit her money. As the prosecution and the defence contest the case, witnesses are called to the stand and give testimony that shifts the outcome of the trial, leaving the question of guilt open until the verdict.

The staging is immersive. The actors move through the aisles of the auditorium while the audience remains seated throughout, so spectators find themselves close to the action as the courtroom drama unfolds around them. The production is set in the grand chamber at County Hall, a venue hosting concerts and shows in London, and the performance is presented as a site-specific revival of the Christie story.

The show is aimed at audiences who enjoy a courtroom thriller and a classic whodunit told in an unusual setting. Al Murray is named among the performers, and the production is presented as a new staging of a long-running Christie drama.
