Witness for the Prosecution Tickets

Witness For The Prosecution London

Leonard Vole is accused of murder and you have been summoned for jury duty. If he’s found guilty, he’ll be sent to the gallows. But if he’s found innocent, you may well be turning a murderer loose on the streets of London.

First opening in 1953, Agatha Christie’s acclaimed whodunnit drama Witness For The Prosecution returns for a stunning revival in a real courtroom: the Council Chamber in the London County Hall. Watch the mystery unfold in this spectacular Grade II listed building as Leonard and other witnesses take the stand for the fight of their life.

Praise for Witness For The Prosecution

The Witness For The Prosecution play was originally based on Christie’s short story “Traitor’s Hands”, and its adaptation won the Mystery Writers of America for Best Mystery Play. The London show has been nominated for Best Revival at the Laurence Olivier Awards and opened in 2017 to rave reviews.

The Daily Mail and The Arts Desk both gave the play five stars, describing it as “criminally good” and “guilty of being a good night out.” The immersive setting has drawn particular praise, with The Guardian saying “Agatha Christie’s ingenious courtroom drama fits perfectly in County Hall”. “The perfect setting,” agrees Time Out. “A deliciously enjoyable revival.”
