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.

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.

The play was thrilling from start to end and the participation from audience jury members was also a fun touch to the show. Overall, the set, music, acting were top notch and it delivers great value to its audience. I sat in C4 on the upperlevels but could still see and hear the play well. Highly recommend this to anyone and you don't need a law degree to appreciate it.
