See Agatha Christie’s timeless *Witness for the Prosecution* in a site-specific courtroom setting inside London County Hall.  *Witness for the Prosecution* tickets are available on London Theatre now. 

Agatha Christie wrote *Witness for the Prosecution* in 1925. The original story was published in Flynn’s, a weekly detective magazine circulated in early 20th-century Britain. 

According to her autobiography, *Witness for the Prosecution* was one of Agatha Christie’s favourites of all her works, stating: “One night at the theatre stands out in my memory especially; the first night of *Witness* [for the Prosecution]. I can safely say that that was the only first night I have enjoyed… It was one of my plays that I like best myself.” We'd like to think that the *Witness for the Prosecution* West End production would be loved by Christie too. 

It’s even more impressive that *Witness for the Prosecution* performances occur in a real court. London County Hall opened on 17 Jul. 1922, and served as the headquarters of local government for London for 64 years. When you’re watching the show, you’ll see the octagonal Council Chamber at the centre of County Hall — it once provided seating for over 200 council members and four galleries overlooking the Chamber for the public and members of the press. It’s the ideal immersive setting for an Agatha Christie courtroom drama.

## What is *Witness for the Prosecution* about?

Christie’s court classic sees Leonard Vole called to the stand after a murder. When his wife agrees to testify, can she be trusted? It’s up to you, the audience as the jury, to decide whether Vole will walk free or spend the rest of his life in shackles. 

Developed with the support and involvement of the Christie family, Lucy Bailey directs the new production to place audiences in the centre of the action within the courtroom. 

Tickets to *Witness for the Prosecution* are available now. Book your *Witness for the Prosecution* tickets on London Theatre today.

Witness for the Prosecution from 27 Sept 2022 - LON - LondonTheatre

You’ve been summoned for jury service! Experience an Agatha Christie classic in a unique, historic courtroom setting. A widower is on trial, but only you can decide if he faces the noose in this enthralling production. Cast your judgment at Witness for the Prosecution at London County Hall today.

It’s not often that you can watch a play within a council chamber. London County Hall is the ideal setting for the Witness for the Prosecution London courtroom drama. Thanks to Lucy Bailey's direction and William Dudley's design, you’ll feel like you are watching a real trial unfold.

Agatha Christie was hailed as the ‘Queen of Crime’. Her *Witness for the Prosecution* was one of her prized works. In her autobiography, she stated that the first night of *Witness for the Prosecution* was one of her favourite memories at the theatre. Agatha Christie’s gripping story of justice, passion, and betrayal now comes alive in the 21st century. 

## What to Watch For:

- County Hall served as the headquarters of London County Council and the Greater London Council for 64 years. It provided seating for over 200 council members and four galleries for the public and members of the press.
- Agatha Christie wrote the short story. The story was previously called Traitor's Hands. There’s two Agatha Christie plays in London: *Witness for the Prosecution* and *The Mousetrap*.
