Witness for the Prosecution
by Agatha Christie

"Once more the Christie conjuring trick has come off. Once more we have been led down the garden path. Apart from being a clever puzzle, this is an extremely actable play."

— The Daily Telegraph

"Dame Agatha... managed to write not one, not two, but three of the great stage mysteries: And Then There Were None, Witness for the Prosecution and The Mousetrap."

— Ira Levin, novelist and playwright

"The play has all the usual advantages of Counsel in conflict, agonised outbreak in the dock, and back-answers from the witness-box. To these are added an ingenious appendix; the jury’s verdict is only the beginning of a story that has as many twists as a pigtail."

— Ivor Brown, The Observer

"Christie’s play is easily her most ingenious... The play’s appeal lies not just in its mystery but in its courtroom formality and its reminder that the law itself is a theatrical ritual."

— The Guardian

"Christie’s stories still have the capacity to shock... this Agatha Christie classic still provides twists and gasp-inducing reveals aplenty."
