Directed by Lucy Bailey, Witness for the Prosecution immerses audiences inside a courtroom at London County Hall. The drama unfolds around them as Agatha Christie’s gripping tale of justice and betrayal reaches its climax. The production is designed by William Dudley with lighting by Chris Davey, sound design by Mic Pool and casting by Ellie Collyer-Bristow.
Since 2017 the show has been a major West End success, with performances frequently selling out. It was nominated for Best Revival at both the 2018 Olivier Awards and WhatsOnStage Awards.
