Witness for the Prosecution

Review by Laura Kennelly

Most people might hesitate to be chosen for jury duty. But at the Hanna
Theatre during the run of *Witness for the Prosecution*, it’s an
entertaining option for brave audience members who wish to volunteer for
onstage seating. Great Lakes Theater’s artistic director Charles Fee
directs this latest incarnation of Agatha Christie’s 1953 drama. (The most
famous version of *Witness* may be the 1957 film version starring Tyrone
Power, Marlene Dietrich and Charles Laughton). [Snip]

BOTTOM LINE: An old-fashioned talky courtroom drama, well-executed by a
good cast in both major and minor roles. The play itself, however, seems
extremely sedate as written and so despite some rather well-done high drama
that flares out all too briefly, I want more. Full review at
