What is Witness for the Prosecution about?

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.

It is the second of Agatha Christie’s plays to be whipping up a storm in London; her mind-bending whodunit The Mousetrap has been a West End mainstay for more than 70 years, and the ending has still remained a secret…
