Cambridge: Drayton Entertainment presents the Shaw Festival production of “Witness for the Prosecution”
Saturday, October 11, 2025
Drayton Entertainment is incredibly pleased to present the Shaw Festival's 2024 Season hit production of Agatha Christie’s thrilling courtroom drama, Witness for the Prosecution, to new audiences throughout the province
When a wealthy, older woman is found brutally murdered, there is only one suspect: Leonard Vole, her handsome, charming, and much-younger lover. Sure, he has a motive, but did he actually do it? The stakes are high, and so is the tension in this gripping story of justice, passion, and betrayal.
As revelations unfold and a surprising witness’ testimony comes to light, join the jury in the impossibly difficult task of deciding the fate of the accused. If you’re a fan of riveting drama, you won’t want to miss this shocker that cleverly and slyly shows the best defense is a killer offense.
