Witness for the Prosecution extension and cast announcement
The hit Off-West End revival of Witness for the Prosecution has just extended its open-ended run and is now booking until 29 March 2020. Tickets to the new Witness for the Prosecution extension go on sale on Thursday, 28 February 2019. The new extension means the Olivier Award-nominated show will now run for a period lasting longer than its original 1953 West End production.

The cast is completed by Francesca Knight, Janet Fullerlove, Jessica Hole, Joe Shire, Kara Grace-Paseda, Karl Wilson, Max Dinnen, Michael Weaver, Nicholas Osmond, and Paul Lancaster.
Witness for the Prosecution – where to sit?
London’s County Hall is certainly not your conventional theatre venue. Once used as London’s seat of government before Margaret Thatcher abolished the Labour-controlled GLC party, the Council Chamber has since been repurposed into a makeshift theatre complete with seats in the judge’s circle and jury box. This art-imitates-life approach offers theatre fans the unique experience to feel immersed in the story.
Given the venue’s unusual seating plan, you’re probably wondering where to sit for Witness for the Prosecution, which is why we have taken all the guesswork out for you when it comes to booking your seats. The best seats at the London County Hall are arguably the Jury Box seats. However, their unwavering popularity often results in their being sold out faster than the strike of a gavel. But with the release of new Witness for the Prosecution tickets, you may just be lucky enough for ‘jury duty’ if you book your tickets fast enough!
Coming in at a close second behind the Jury Box seats are seats in Rows C and D of the courtroom stalls, which offer just the right distance from the stage for witnessing all the courtroom action. But if you're hoping to save money on Witness for the Prosecution tickets without forfeiting a clear view of the stage, then try booking in Row A in both the North and South Galleries.
As always, our interactive seating plan features an intuitive user interface that will inform you of all restricted view information to help you reach the perfect verdict!
