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.
