We really enjoyed Witness for the Prosecution in London! The atmosphere was fantastic and made the whole experience feel unique and immersive. The cast was excellent, especially the actor playing the lead attorney, who really stood out with a brilliant performance. We also loved how smoothly and creatively the scene changes were handled, adding to the overall experience.

Well done presentation of Agatha's classic. Having read the book I was not surprised at the ending. The actors did a fantastic job and were very convincing. The judge was a hoot.

The production was brilliant , griipping with first class acting in the very authentic court toom. Thoroughly enjoyed the drama. 5/5! Seats C 43 and 44 and seats D43 and DD44 in the high side stalls warn of a pillar , which obscured the view of the witness box and rhe judge's row should perhaps be removed from the booking list because quite a lot of the " visual" reactions were missed , due to a large pillar obstruction. ( pillars had been mentioned on the bookings page ... but I think these seats should be removed to avoid disappointment. 2/5
