Witness for the Prosecution by Agatha Christie in London
There's nothing quite like the magnificent London County Hall for drama, the ideal venue for an Agatha Christie crime story that has never lost its popularity. Welcome to Christie’s gripping story of justice, betrayal and passion, Witness for the Prosecution, played out in a remarkable courtroom-like setting that adds extra sizzle to this already sizzling sausage of a murder mystery.
About Witness for the Prosecution
The Witness for the Prosecution began life as a short story called Traitor's Hands, published in a cheap weekly story magazine called Flynn's in 1925. 1933 saw the tale published in book form for the first time as Witness for the Prosecution, in a collection called The Hound of Death.
Leonard Vole is arrested for the murder of Emily French, his wealthy older lover. French wasn't aware he was married, and made him her heir. When she dies in suspicious circumstances Vole's wife, Romaine, testifies as a witness for the prosecution, as part of a complex plan to get her husband freed. But circumstances ultimately reveal how Vole did actually kill French. Vole's mistress, who only turns up at the end of the play, is about to be arrested for perjury along with Vole, when Romaine grabs a knife and... well, you'll have to come along and see what happens.
This is a landmark stage production and London County Hall, on the South Bank, is the perfect venue. Designed by architect Ralph Knott, it was under construction for 11 years before being opened by King George V and Queen Mary in 1922. It was the HQ of the city's local government for many years, including the infamous GLC, and its unique octagonal chamber and four galleries overlooking it create an incredibly atmospheric setting for the action.
The Daily Mail calls it “Criminally good” and says “The queen of cunning has been brilliantly served”. The Arts Desk calls it a delight, confessing to being guilty of a good night out. We're all set for a show that entertains, amuses and unsettles in the exact way Christie intended.

Thrilling. Agatha Christie at her very bestBeing a fan of Agatha Christie I was looking forward to seeing the play but wasn't too sure if my husband would feel the same - at the end of the performance he was up on his feet to applaud. The acting was fantastic, the scene changes remarkable. The only very small comment I would make is about the background sound, at first I didn't know if it was part of the performance as it was so quiet but then realised it was but this is me being extremely picky, it didn't detract anything from the performance. Would highly recommend to anyone.

A mystery theatre experience that will have you on the edge of your seat!I watched Witness for the Prosecution today at the London County Hall, and was enthralled and captivated. The acting was on point, the characters were striking and the lighting and stage were amazingly well done. The plot itself was devious, with unexpected twists along the way and at the end to keep you guessing - classic Agatha Christie. I highly recommend this to anyone who loves mystery or theatre or both!
