Best Seats
This immersive, site-specific play is in the historic London County Hall building’s Council Chamber, and each seating area offers a unique experience. The best views are from the middle of the Stalls in seats such as
D95 , where the entire stage is visible including the Witness Box and Jury Box, and actors sometimes rush up and down the aisles near you throughout the show.
Speaking of the Jury Box, tickets can be booked for seats here. This is a very unique viewing experience, with the seats positioned behind the stage. If you choose to sit here, in a seat such as
Jury Box 1 , you will feel as if you are part of the story, holding Leonard’s fate in your hands.
Good value seats
The gallery offers the best option for good value seats, however many of these seats come with some obstruction to the stage. Sitting further back in the central gallery gives you a clear view of the action at a good price. Some seats at the ends of both the North and South galleries are very cheap and you'll only miss a quarter of the stage, compared to half of the stage in some of the other restricted view seats.
Restricted view seats in the Gallery can have variable views because of pillars and the angle to the stage, so reviews from fellow theatregoers are incredibly helpful when choosing which to book. Some good value seats include Central Gallery
B23 (a “great view over the whole stage area”) and South Gallery
A7 (a “clear view of the witness box”).
The stairs leading up to here are quite steep and the aisles narrow, so the Gallery may not be suitable for anyone who suffers from vertigo or is uncomfortable with heights.
Premium seats
The best seats in the house are between rows C and E in the Courtroom Stalls, you'll feel totally immersed in the action of Witness for the Prosecution. With the judge, accused and barristers performing right in front of you - and maybe even giving away their true motivations with subtle body language - you will “feel like you are part of the proceedings” (reviewer in
C60 ). Other top-price seats such as
D98 offer a “perfect view of the action” according to SeatPlan reviewers.
For a truly unique experience, book one of the 12 VIP jury box seats, here you'll watch the play unfold in front of your eyes and enjoy complimentary refreshments.
