This is a story of justice, passion and betrayal set in 1950’s London. Leonard Vole, a jobless car mechanic, finds himself accused of the brutal murder of Emily French, a wealthy older woman who has named Leonard as the benefactor to her fortune. His wife provides his only alibi, and his fate rests on the believability of her testimony.
As the title of the play suggests, our first surprise is her introduction to the court as a witness for the prosecution. As the trial progresses, this young man faces the terrifying prospect of the hangman's snare looming closer.
Regarded as one of Agatha Christie's most accomplished plays, this thriller weaves a complex web of intrigue that will keep you on the edge of your seat, guessing and second-guessing until the final, breathtaking reveal.

“We that are true lovers run into strange capers…”
Banished from court, Rosalind and her cousin Celia leave behind their old lives and venture into the Forest of Arden - a world free from strict rules, where disguises give way to true identities, and love blossoms in the most unexpected ways.
Set amidst the British folk revival at the turn of the 20th century, this production is alive with music, poetry, and storytelling - a heartfelt love letter to the English countryside, celebrating its beauty, simplicity, and timeless charm.
Marking the 40th anniversary of Chiltern Shakespeare’s first performance in 1986, As You Like It is a joyous celebration of love, harmony, and connection - as resonant today as when it was first performed over 400 years ago
Please join us and perhaps enjoy a pre-show picnic in the delightful grounds of Hall Barn for this 40th Year celebration.
This is a joint production with The Chiltern Shakespeare Company.
