Witness for the Prosecution
Is he lying or telling the truth
A cerebral courtroom drama built on legal maneuvering and narrative twists, where truth itself becomes the central mystery.
An ailing barrister is thrust back into the courtroom in what becomes one of the most unusual and eventful murder cases of the lawyer's career when he finds himself defending a man being tried for the murder of a socialite.
