ABOUT WITNESS FOR THE PROSECUTION AUDITIONS
A combined production from Little Theatre and Repertory
Leonard Vole convinces even the perceptive Sir Wilfred that he is innocent of murder, although the circumstantial evidence is damning. In the mounting tension of the trial there are three amazing developments. Vole’s wife takes the stand and coldly swears away her husband’s alibi. A brassy young woman then sells Sir Wilfred’s letter proving how this acquittal has been engineered by Mrs Vole. But there is still the dramatic finale…
Witness for the Prosecution: Cast

Greta (Sir Wilfred’s typist, an adenoidal girl with a good opinion of herself)
