Often considered Agatha Christie’s most accomplished play, this spellbinding drama coils tighter with every revelation, keeping you guessing until the final moment.<\/div>\n<\/div>\nAbout the Playwright<\/h4>\n
\nKnown as The Queen of Crime, Dame Agatha Christie was born in Torquay, England, in 1890 and is the best-selling novelist of all time. With over one billion books sold in English and another billion in over 100 languages, she is outsold only by the Bible and Shakespeare. She wrote 80 crime novels and collections of short stories, over 25 plays (including The Mousetrap<\/i>, the world\u2019s longest-running play), and six novels under the pseudonym Mary Westmacott. Her first novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles<\/i>, introduced the world to the beloved Belgian detective Hercule Poirot, followed a decade later by the shrewd and often-underestimated Miss Marple.<\/div>\n“Plots come to me at such odd moments, when I am walking along the street, or examining a hat shop…suddenly a splendid idea comes into my head.<\/i>” – Agatha Christie<\/div>\n<\/div>\nWITNESS FOR THE PROSECUTION<\/strong>\u00a0is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc.<\/h6>\n
