You are summoned for jury service

Experience Agatha Christie's gripping courtroom drama in a unique, landmark production set against the backdrop of London County Hall.

Leonard Vole has been accused of murdering a widow in order to inherit her wealth. As he takes to the stand to protest his innocence and convince the jury that he did not commit this crime, expect shocking twists, powerful testimonies and tales of passion and betrayal.

First published by Agatha Christie in 1925 as the short story, 'Traitor's Hands', the Witness for the Prosecution play debuted in 1953. The current London County Hall production, directed by Lucy Bailey, opened in 2017 and drew critical acclaim for its unique and imaginative staging in the Hall's former Council Chamber.

The Witness for the Prosecution London cast features 18 actors, including Harry Reid (Leonard Vole), Simon Rhodes (Warder), Isabella Kibble (The Woman), Greg Fitch (Solicitor), Kevin N. Golding (Carter/Dr Wyatt) and Rosana Adams (Greta/Miss Clegg).

With seats available in the heart of the courtroom as well as on the jury bench itself, Witness for the Prosecution tickets will fully immerse you in the action and place Leonard's fate firmly in your hands.
