Emily French, an elderly woman who plans to leave her considerable estate to the charming young Leonard, is found dead. Murdered. Though he protests his innocence, Leonard quickly becomes the prime suspect. His plea hinges on his wife’s testimony, until the sudden appearance of a mysterious young woman, bearing an unexpected clue. Will the truth be revealed in time or will Leonard be declared guilty at the hands of the Witness for the Prosecution?

In a world where everyone seems to be harbouring a dark secret, this gripping courtroom drama will keep you guessing until the final fatal moment.


The critical consensus

The audience's gasps as the truth is revealed are testament to a satisfying conclusion.

Joe Harmston's Agatha Christie Theatre Company delivers all this with terrific flair, and a simmering sense of humour that Christie might well have enjoyed.

****(*)Joyce McMillan, The Scotsman

A well constructed and brilliantly acted court drama that is totally unpredictable (unless you previously read the book or saw the movie obviously).
