Witness for the Prosecution puts audiences at the heart of the action in the cast of Leonard Vole, accused of murder in cold blood. It's an enthralling tale of justice, passion and betrayal which is more popular than ever!
Witness The Prosecution also announces an extension period with performances now running until 26 April 2026.
