★★★★★ Daily Mail - "Criminally good... The setting is an event all in itself" http://www.dailymail.co.uk/…/QUENTIN-LE TTS-reviews-Witness-…

What an amazing play!

My dad and I had Jury seats and really felt part of the play. So many twists and turns and such a responsibility... Guilty or not Guilty you decide!!

User

Well conceived and flawlessly executed production of one of Agatha Christie’s best plays, presented in a beautiful ancient courtroom. A landmark theatrical experience.

User

We visited County Hall Today - me, my mum (9 weeks post hip op) and my Lil Cous!

Bit of an adventure with the snow!

Found it eventually - not on the Thames River side on the road side.

The staff were so helpful getting mum into mini lifts to get to ground level of the building and a lift up to the ‘court room’

I know the story and I’ve seen the play years ago - but there is something about this setting that makes you feel you are part of the play.

Fabulous Acting and scene changes - cleverly done.

I’d recommend you go and see it !!

Can County Hall do 12 Angry Men next ?



Also the booking company - thank you so much for your fantastic communications - we managed to all sit together - everyone who called or emailed to check things were ok for my mum - amazing - truly grateful - and the staff on duty today - fantastic ... I’d be proud of you all if you worked for me - courteous- happy - helpful ... thank you �

We had seats right next to the stage, this made it a very intimate & almost private performance. We were gripped from beginning to end. A remarkable plot carried out by credible actors, loved every minute. Well done.

User

Suspense, a twist in the tale, comfy leather seats, perfect view from all stalls seats and Ben from Eastenders starring! Fabulous setting for a courtroom drama, catch it if you can.

User

Saw this on the 23 December. It was a fantastic play, performed by first rate actors in an amazing setting. Had seats to the left of the judge, brillant comfy seats in keeping with the era of the play. It was compelling and absorbing, kept me guessing right until the end. Would go again! Such was brilliance of the experience!

User

Saw this last night. One of the best London shows I have seen. Acting was amazing and it deserved the standing ovation at the end.

User

Saw it last night..fantastic adaptation and brilliant setting. Loved it!

User

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this from the moment we sat down in the fantastic building and the acting was superb... Recommend highly.

User

Just wow! Saw this tonight and was so mesmerised I couldn’t stand up even though I wanted to. The acting is amazing, emotional with some nicely placed humour and the set is flawless including the people that move everything at precisely the same time. The story completely sucks you in and you feel part of it! Would definitely recommend and would see this again! If you don’t see this then you are missing out!

User

I went to today's performance with a couple of fellow teachers and two students who tagged along at the last minute. I was uncertain of what the students' opinion would be given that they are 15 years old but they absolutely loved it! They couldn't stop talking about it after we saw it! And the fact that is set in an actual court room made it an unforgetable experience for all of us! I would totally recommend it!

User

I saw this last November - excellent! The building and setting alone is enough to make it worth seeing. I didnt know the story which made it even better. Superb acting, great setting, suspense throughout - and the ending......well thats for you to find out. Would recommend it

User

Had the pleasure of seeing the show on Saturday and what a fantastic experience it was. The whole cast should be praised for their performances.I was lucky enough to be sitting next to Philip Franks who was superb in playing Mr Myers QC. However my favourite was Lucy Phelps who I thought was quite brilliant playing the role of Romaine Vole. Well done to all the crew involved in staging this play in such an iconic venue,

User

Fantastic- gripping from start to finish!

User

Fantastic in every way! Acting first class, stage management ran like clockwork.

Big shout out to the chap who rolls the carpet up then rolls it back down again many times with such care ( can’t be easy getting that straight every time or not knocking someone’s head off!)

The storyline keeps you guessing until the very end.

This really is Agatha Christie at her best, action, emotion, suspense and a clever plot twist.

The environment is amazing, felt like a real court case. Totally recommend this wonderful play!

User

Brilliant! Felt like I was in the courtroom

User

Brilliant play, fabulous actors and actresses. The mood, music and lighting made for an intense, edge of your seats atmosphere!

User

Amazing production which had me gripping the edge of my seat! The setting was so awesome and the set changes were done seemlessly. The cast were magnificent and I would recommend this to anyone who likes murder mysteries or wants to see inside County Hall.

User

Absolutely loved it! ... stayed faithful to the book, atmosphere brilliant, you would be missing out if you didn't take a trip to see this, can not praise it enough, staff very helpful, great time out from beginning to end...
