THEATRE: Witness for the Prosecution - VOX Productions, Metro Arts

Title: Witness for the Prosecution

Presented By: VOX Productions

Genre: Crime / Courtroom Drama / Mystery

Synopsis: Step into a 1920s London courtroom where reputation is everything and truth is dangerously fragile. Based on Agatha Christie’s classic thriller, Witness for the Prosecution follows Leonard Vole, a young man accused of murdering a wealthy widow who left him her fortune.

As the trial unfolds, conflicting testimonies, hidden motives, and shifting loyalties keep the court — and the audience — guessing. His fate rests heavily on the testimony of his wife, Romaine, whose revelations in the witness box threaten to upend everything.

This tightly constructed courtroom drama exposes the inner workings of justice, where class, bias, and persuasion collide in a suspense-filled battle for truth.
