The murder of a rich widow, a mysterious case, countless lies...
The main suspect, Leonard Vole, is a born failure who now faces the gallows. The case seems clear. The public prosecutor, the police and his own family all want him dead. Can the well-known London criminal lawyer Sir Wilfried Robarts save the naive Vole from certain conviction?
Agatha Christie's play "Witness for the Prosecution", written in the 1920s, hits a highly topical point: is the truth still important or are majorities not much more important? The lie seems to have become a legitimate means of communication, while the truth hardly receives any attention...
Aenne Busmann and Hans Peter Mörsch have thoroughly dusted off and modernized Agatha Christie's 100-year-old courtroom drama in their production with the ensemble of Theater Köln-Süd e.V..
Our audience can expect an entertaining evening of theater with an ending to remember.
