Amazing theater that was easy for us (tourists) to find. Play was very well done and kept us enthralled until the very last line. Excellent acting! We are so glad we were able to see the performance.

Such a fun experience! You'll watch a play take place in a real courthouse. The upper seats still have a good view of the primary stage, however you truly won't see the judge. Arrive early to ensure you're seated on time. Do not use your phone during the play! I saw the actors and staff remind patrons to put away their phones during the action. No outside food or beverage allowed. Very easy to get to the theater/courthouse via public transportation. Enjoy!

Wow. Okay, so we were excited to be seeing a play in London, but this was a great surprise. Obviously it’s a courtroom drama, but this theatre seemed to have been build just for this play. Its aged wooden desk like seating in the round feels like you’re in the gallery of a courtroom. From start to finish, we were into it. The acting, the script, the sets all were terrific. Great drama, but not without some humorous bits!

This was a sparkling example of the British theatrical tradition. Superb performances were matched by a wonderful setting; the old London County Council chamber made an excellent courtroom. I loved how 12 patrons became the trial jurors, playing their impromptu roles convincingly.
