See You In Court
Agatha Christie's Witness for the Prosecution is a definitive and long-standing part of immersive theatre. Witness for the Prosecution began as a short story in 1925 and then became a successful stage play after premiering on 28 October 1953 at the Winter Garden Theatre, produced by Sir Peter Saunders. Christie’s gripping drama has been performed all over the world, from London's West End to Broadway, and has been a hit for years in both professional and amateur productions.
The latest revival of Witness for the Prosecution took place in October 2017, featuring London County Hall’s distinctive courtroom staging and receiving praise from critics. Unfortunately, the production was halted in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the UK but resumed in September 2021. This unique site-specific rendition is housed within the grand chamber of London County Hall, offering an immersive experience for the jury. The show is scheduled to continue its run until April 2024. Since it began, Witness for the Prosecution tickets have been in high demand.

Review: Witness for the Prosecution in 250 words - Court is now in session!
I have been summoned for Jury Service.
Taking my place in the Jury seats at the palatial County Hall, I settle down for another whodunnit from the wonderful Agatha Christie, whose well known West End play, The Mousetrap is London’s longest-running show (which you'll also want tickets for). Being a legal eagle myself, I was interested to see how this would ‘play’ out and if I would be able to differentiate between the innocent and the guilty.

London Theatre Review: Agatha Christie's Witness for the Prosecution at London County Hall
Just a quick hop over the river from the West End, in the shadow of the London Eye, you will find London County Hall where Witness for the Prosecution is currently staged. The former home of London County Council, the building now hosts the Aquarium, London Dungeons and a couple of hotels. Nestled in the heart of the building is the former meeting room – the Edwardian chamber – with its fixed wooden seating, striking marble columns, high ceiling, and ornate fittings, now providing the setting for one of the world’s most famous author's plays.

London Theatre Review: Witness for the Prosecution at County Hall, London in Southbank
Agatha Christie plays are seemingly impossible to write about. Not because they're bad, but because the audiences are sworn not to reveal anything. In fact, as you leave County Hall after a performance of the incredible Witness for the Prosecution, a sign stands in the foyer with the simple phrase: #SwornToSecrecy

London Theatre Review: Witness for the Prosecution at London County Hall
The venue for Witness for the Prosecution – the Edwardian Baroque-style London County Hall – is as much a star as the play's key protagonists. The Council Chamber makes the perfect setting for this courtroom drama to unfold, having been built nearly 3 years before Agatha Christie published the short story of the same name back in 1925. Sit back, relax, and enjoy this psychological thriller, which was marvellously adapted into a stage play by Agatha Christie herself and first performed in 1953.
