Little Theatre to stage Agatha Christie play
Agatha Christie's Witness for the Prosecution will be staged by the Woy Woy Little Theatre from Friday, May 9, with 10 performances over three weekends.
The production will feature a cast of 12 actors, directed by Christine Vale.
The story follows the trial of Leonard Vole, played by Chad Davis, who is arrested for the murder of Miss Emily French, a wealthy older woman.
Unaware that he was a married man, Miss French made him her principal heir, casting suspicion on him.
When his wife, Romaine, played by Kassie Brown, agrees to testify.
She does so not in Leonard's defence but as a witness for the prosecution.
