The London County Hall was a superb setting for this production. The set was cleverly designed to make the most of the available space. The audience had clear views of all the cast. The crew worked the scene changes seamlessly and creatively. The lighting was well focused on the action The sound complemented the script. The casting was excellent. Their enunciation and clarity of delivery meant we could hear every word. The denoument exciting with the tension creating quite the 'wow' factor! Congratulations to the director, cast and crew, FOH and bar staff for a splendid theatrical experience.

I had an incredible time watching this play. It’s deeply immersive from the very first moment, pulling you straight into its world. The story is genuinely interesting, and the actors deliver performances so honest and powerful that you can feel every emotion with them. The plot remains intriguing throughout — you’re constantly curious about what will happen next — and the pacing is so well-crafted that you don’t even notice time passing; it simply flies by.

Die Location war perfekt für ein Theatherstück von Agatha Christie. In einem echten Gerichtssaal wirkt es sehr gut. Das Stück selbst ist sehr gut aufgeführt. Auch die Bühnenbildwechsel wirken fast zeremoniell. Man sieht auch von der letzten Reihe gut auf die Bühne und ein Teil der Zuschauer kann als Schöffen tatsächlich mitspielen. Nur der Eingang sollte etwas besser gekenzeichnet werden, da County Hall sehr groß ist.
