A courtroom thriller that takes place in an actual courtroom for maximum drama. This Agatha Christie play thrives on suspicion, shifting loyalties, and scrutinising testimonies that don’t quite add up. No two performances are the same, as it's up to the audience to decide the fate of the accused.

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.

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*.

Virgil, and Susanna Wolff as Meg Frencham.

## What to watch for 

- The building of Park Theatre was supported by Sir Ian McKellen and the late Alan Rickman.

Don’t miss *Whodunnit [Unrehearsed] 4*, a brilliantly funny Wild West mystery comedy where a different unrehearsed celebrity Sheriff faces murder and mystery every night. 


Saddle up for a smashing good time with murder and music in *Whodunnit [Unrehearsed] 4*, a hit comedy fundraiser featuring a different, unrehearsed celebrity Sheriff at every performance. Book *Whodunnit [Unrehearsed] 4* tickets on London Theatre. 

*Whodunnit [Unrehearsed] 4* in London is its fourth installment of the play, and this time, it takes audiences to Graveside, which is a dusty old frontier town where the gold fever is rising, and treasure has mysteriously gone missing. No one is without suspicion. There are strangers walking about town, a Reverend who might have some secrets, and a landmine of problems that any Sheriff should reasonably be made to deal with. The catch, of course, is that the Sheriff has not rehearsed their lines. 

At each performance, a different celebrity guest steps into the lead role without rehearsal, guided only by a hidden earpiece and their own instincts. They must try to solve the murder, keep to the plot of the story, and survive the ever-growing chaos around them while the rest of the cast does exactly as they were scripted to do.

The show features a company of actor-musicians and audience sing-alongs, and Sir Ian McKellen is returning to lend his voice to the show. Announced guest Sheriffs include Benedict Cumberbatch, Gillian Anderson, Simon Pegg, Emma Thompson, Munya Chawawa, Hugh Bonneville, Jim Broadbent, Adrian Dunbar, Sanjeev Bhaskar, Alison Steadman, Liz Carr, Julian Clary, Kerry Ellis, Chris McCausland, and more, with celebrity line-ups subject to change. 

*Whodunnit [Unrehearsed] 4* is a play that is fantastically transformed into a frontier town with gorgeous immersive design and themed food and drink. As a fundraiser, the production supports Park Theatre’s building, new work, and community and educational programmes, making it an exciting, fun night out with a great purpose behind it. Not only will audiences be entertained by the hilarity of the night, but they will also know that their purchase is going towards a good cause.

Park Theatre

Park Theatre, located in Finsbury Park, London, offers an array of professional theatrical productions in an intimate and welcoming venue. It's easily accessible by public transport.

The Park Theatre is the brainchild of Artistic Director Jez Bond, who discovered a disused office in 2009. Realising its potential, Bond engaged David Hughes Architects, and the two embarked on a period of extensive research, visiting over 35 theatres across the country, both large and small, to garner inspiration and research what ingredients made for the perfect theatre space and functioning building for the public.

The Park Theatre is a two-auditorium venue, incorporating a 200-seat theatre (Park200), and a smaller flexible 90-seat space (Park90).

[Learn more about Agatha Christe's plays in London.](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/theatre-news/news/learn-more-about-agatha-christie-plays-in-london)

She gave the rights to the stage play to her then nine-year-old grandson, Matthew Prichard. Visitors from all over the world continue to watch *The Mousetrap* and become part of the historic story of the show, keeping the secret of the plot with them.

Peter Saunders originally produced *The Mousetrap* play. He handed over responsibility for the show in 1994 to Mousetrap Productions, under the management of Sir Stephen Waley-Cohen.

Great Britain produces legendary writers: William Shakespeare, Charles Dickens, Jane Austen, and Agatha Christie to name a few. Agatha Christie’s the most-read British female writer of all time, with an estimated 4 billion copies sold. Add that to *The Mousetrap*’s record-breaking West End run, and it’s fair to say that Agatha Christie changed the landscape of the English language. 

Agatha Christie didn’t think much of *The Mousetrap* when it first opened though. Christie originally wrote the play for radio, and it later became a play, that at the time, Christie thought would only run for around 8 months. *The Mousetrap* play was written as a gift for Queen Mary’s 80th birthday in 1947. Agatha Christie then gave her grandson, Mathew Pritchard, the rights to the play for his ninth birthday.

## What to Watch For

- Look out for the wooden sign at the entrance to St. Martin's Theatre — it tallies up the number of performances to date and will let you know which performance of this record-breaking show you are attending.
- The clock above the fireplace in the main hall is the same clock that was used on opening night in 1952.
