I've always been a huge fan of Agatha Christie's work and this play made me feel like I was a character of the book, I lost track of time, it was very well executed.

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!
