Witness for the Prosecution

The Agatha Christie's Theatre Company

Following the success of The Hollow, The Unexpected Guest, And Then There Were None and Spider’s Web, the Agatha Christie Theatre Company is proud to present the next instalment in the highly acclaimed series, Christie's undisputed masterpiece Witness for the Prosecution.

After huge stage success, the play was filmed by Billy Wilder in 1957, starring Tyrone Power (in his last completed film  role), Marlene Dietrich and Charles Laughton. It won many awards, including nominations for seven Oscars and was the year's Number One Box Office hit worldwide. Several remakes have followed, most recently starring Diana Rigg, Ralph Richardson and Beau Bridges.

Emily French, an elderly woman who recently left her considerable estate to the charming young Leonard, is found dead. Murdered.  Though he protests his innocence, Leonard quickly becomes the prime suspect. His plea hinges on his wife’s testimony, until the sudden appearance of a mysterious young woman, bearing an unexpected clue. Will the truth be revealed in time or will Leonard be declared guilty at the hands of the Witness for the Prosecution? In a world where everyone seems to be harbouring a dark secret, this gripping courtroom drama will keep you guessing until the final fatal moment
