Lawyers on Stage Theatre (LOST) December 11–13
Witness for the Prosecution by Agatha Christie
Friday December 11 to Sunday December 13
Directed by Stuart Wright
Langham Audience to Experience Several Firsts in Witness for the Prosecution
LOST, in collaboration with Langham Court Theatre, returns to the Langham stage December 11-13, 2026 with its production of the Agatha Christie classic, Witness for the Prosecution.
After his extremely successful direction of The Winter’s Tale in December, 2025, (all shows sold out) the super talented Stuart Wright returns to direct what Agatha Christie described as “one of my plays that I liked best myself.” High acclaim indeed!
Stuart, a practising lawyer and recently appointed Artistic Director of Blue Bridge Repertory Theatre will direct a cast of 20+ actors in this murder mystery thriller with the Queen of Crime adding twists and turns along the way.
The audience for this limited run (four shows only) will experience several firsts. First, as far as we can ascertain, this will be the very first showing ever of Witness for the Prosecution in Victoria. Good news for Agatha Christie fans! Second, lawyers will be playing lawyers in the show. Never been done and should be fun! Finally, as you can see from the show poster (artwork assisted by AI technology) Stuart will be bringing an Aubrey Beardsley look to the production. Aubrey Beardsley was a famous and daring English illustrator, a leading figure in the Art Nouveau and Aesthetic movements, and well known for his 1894 wickedly explicit illustrations in Oscar Wilde’s rhapsodic play, Salome. Combining Beardsley’s sinister artistry with the danger, deception and elusiveness of truth in Christie’s Witness will be stunning.
As usual, the Lawyers on Stage Theatre Society production is a fundraiser for two important community groups- Women in Need Community Cooperative (WIN) and Together Against Poverty Society (TAPS).
