GADOC’s production of Agatha Christie’s ‘Witness for the Prosecution’ opens at Beau Sejour theatre on 25 August, transporting the audience to the heart of a murder trial in 1950s London.
The play follows Leonard Vole who is being tried for the murder of a wealthy woman, and legendary lawyer Sir Wilfrid Robarts has chosen to represent him. Unfortunately, Leonard’s alibi depends on the testimony of his wife Romaine, who may not be the best witness in court.
Three nights are planned for the play which commences on Thursday 25 August and ends on Saturday 27 August. Each showing starts at 19:30 and runs for two-and-a-half hours.
Ethan Hitchon plays the murder suspect Vole, Danny Barker plays defense lawyer Sir Wilfrid, and Dani Robin plays Leonard’s wife Romaine.
The show is directed by Michael Sullivan-Pugh, in what will be his second project of the year following Easter’s ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’ run, and produced by Lisa Johnston.
