Witness for the Prosecution
by Agatha christie
directed by Christine Vale
Leonard Vole is arrested for the murder of Emily French, a wealthy older woman. Unaware that he was a married man, Miss French made him her principal heir, casting suspicion on Leonard.
When his wife, Romaine, agrees to testify, she does so not in Leonard's defence but as a witness for the prosecution.
This is a fabulous courtroom drama and Christie at her best.
