July 15th - 18th **at Sudbury Arts Centre**
Witness for the Prosecution
by Agatha Christie
directors: Malcolm & Lorna Hollister
This production of Witness for the Prosecution marks something of a double first for SDS: our first Agatha Christie since the 1950s, and the first time we'll be performing in the atmospheric surroundings of Sudbury Arts Centre - an ideal venue to create the tension of a courtroom.
In the shadow of the gallows Leonard fights to clear his name of a murder charge. But can he rely on those he has chosen to help prove his innocence? Witness the desperate twists and turns of evidence and fortune as the noose tightens. Will the jury acquit or must the hangman do his solemn duty?
Agatha Christie needs no introduction as the undisputed queen of detective fiction, and this drama has been delighting audiences for many years.
