Witness for the Prosecution
by Agatha Christie
Directed by Christine Vale
We have filled all but one role in this large cast. The role of Leonard
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.
- Leonard Vole
Early 30s or thereabouts. Hugely likeable young man. Needs to convincingly portray ‘the innocent’ – the one to whom things happen. Friendly and engaging. Genuinely perplexed by the situation he finds himself in. Lower class English accent. Major role.
