Professional actors portray the legal teams, witnesses, and court officials, delivering Christie's expertly crafted dialogue with remarkable skill. The purpose-built courtroom creates an authentic legal atmosphere complete with traditional court procedures and atmospheric lighting that heightens every revelation.

Mobile phones must be switched off or silently, and photography or recording is strictly prohibited during the performance.

Food and drink purchased outside the venue are not permitted, but refreshments are available during the interval.
