You've been summoned for jury service...

Every now and then a new West End play comes along that's totally unique, and Agatha Christie's Witness For The Prosecution is one such show.

The gripping courtroom drama that takes place inside an actual courtroom at County Hall -- the atmospheric Council Chamber of the Edwardian Baroque. For a fully immersive experience you can even book yourself a seat in the old jury box, and watch the action unfold before you.

A lot is at stake in this thrilling court case, because if Leonard Vole is found guilty of murder he'll be facing the hangman's noose.

He's been accused of murdering a widow to inherit her wealth. But will he be able to explain away the shocking witness testimony, and convince the jury (and you) of his innocence?

It's one of Agatha Christie's most gripping tales, filled with suspensful tension, twists and turns, passion and betrayal.

What the theatre critics say...

Daily Mail: ★★★★★ "Classic Christie. The queen of cunning has been brilliantly served"; Daily Telegraph: ★★★★ "Christie's courtroom drama in the grand chamber at County Hall entertains, amuses and unsettles"; The Guardian: ★★★★ "Agatha Christie's ingenious courtroom drama fits perfectly in County Hall"
