'Witness For The Prosecution' Mounted at South Pasadena High
Murder! Deception! Twists and Turns!! It's all here in this suspenseful Agatha Christie play, Witness for The Prosecution Dec. 4- Dec. 12
South Pasadena High School Drama Department is about to serve up Witness for the Prosecution, a six-course meal of a play that is a rich and savory grand buffet of vintage forties, English-style murder.
It comes complete with basso-profundo defense barristers, disdainful prosecutors, acerbic judges, dizzy young secretaries, and a wide-eyed, decent, innocent young defendant – or so he seems.
Only Agatha Christie could have conceived such a suspenseful thriller and then capped it with an uncanny triple flip ending.
