Olney Theatre Center presents Agatha Christie's courtroom whodunit Witness for the Prosecution. Leonard Vole is arrested for the murder of Emily French, his elderly friend who depended on his advice in managing her money. As her principal heir, things look bad for the defense. But when Vole's wife testifies as a witness for the prosecution, the trial becomes a riveting roller coaster of thrills and suspense. When the play first opened on Broadway in 1954, the New York Herald Tribune enthused that "you are apt to find yourself gasping out loud." John Going directs Olney's production.

Twice adapted into films starring Michael Caine, Anthony Shaffer's play concerns a mystery writer who schemes to trick and befuddle his wife's lover. Set in the manor house of author Andrew Wyke, the home reflects his obsession with the inventions and deceptions of fiction and his fascination with games. Wyke lures Milo Tindle to the house and convinces him to stage a robbery, setting off a chain of events that will leave you trying to figure out where Wyke's imagination ends and reality begins. This production is directed by Jim Petosa, Artistic Director of the Olney Theatre Center. Learn More

Though long, the play was well done, the sets great, costuming professional, and, in spite of a couple of muffed lines, well acted. I was indeed surprised by the ending.

Enjoyed the performance immensely. Actors were convincing, easy to understand. Set was outstanding. Would like to see more serious dramas at Olney. i.e. Death of a Salesman, All my Sons. the classics.
