audition notice WITNESS FOR THE PROSECUTION Desert Stages Theatre - Feb 4

Witness for the Prosecution by Agatha Christie

Leonard Vole is accused of murdering elderly, wealthy widow Mrs. Emily French. His lawyer is convinced of his innocence until the will is read revealing a substantial bequest to Leonard.
