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.
