Eleanor Lloyd Productions and Rebecca Stafford Productions have today announced that performances of Witness for the Prosecution will resume from 18 May 2021 at London County Hall on the Southbank, with tickets on sale today. This is, of course, depending on government restrictions. 

Since opening in 2017, Witness for the Prosecution has had thousands gripped by the case of Leonard Vole, accused of murder in a production that places the audience in the think of the action. The twists and turns of the case are played out in a courtroom setting inside the iconic London County Hall. 

Eleanor Lloyd and Rebecca Stafford said: “We cannot wait to bring Witness for the Prosecution back to the magnificent setting of London County Hall and share Agatha Christie’s courtroom spectacle with audiences once again. When the theatres were closed last March, we had just celebrated our 1000th performance having played to over 325,000 people over two and a half years.

“Last year was tough for everyone in the theatre industry. In order to be able to re-open as soon as we can, we are making this announcement now on the assumption that by our first performance government audience restrictions will be lifted and that contingency insurance will be available, either from the insurance market or from a stop-gap government backed scheme.”
