Witness for the Prosecution

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 its huge stage success, the play was made into a film by Billy Wilder in 1957, starring Tyrone Power (in his last completed film role), Marlene Dietrich and Charles Laughton. The film won numerous awards, including seven Oscar nominations, and was the year's number one box office hit worldwide.

The tour de force cast includes: Denis Lill (star of the highly acclaimed series, The Royal), Ben Nealon (Soldier, Soldier), Robert Duncan, who played Gus Hedges in the multi-award-winning comedy Drop the Dead Donkey, Peter Byrne and 60’s teen idol Mark Wynter.

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.
