They were so kind and helpful and were so reassuring in their words and actions. We couldn’t have asked for better assistance, they went above and beyond to help, and it’s made us definitely want to return again soon to see the whole show! read less

From stepping foot into the iconic building and being welcomed by the ushers to the performance of all involved this was a real treat on every level. Enthralled and gripped to the last second. Special thanks to Paul for obtaining actors signatures on our programme as a treat for my good friend Vicky as seeing this play was on her must see list for so long! read less

The County Hall setting was amazing and the moment you stepped into the theatre court room, we knew we were in for a good night. The setting is perfect. We were fully immersed in the play right from beginning. Humour, intrigue, great acting, the play was brilliant, we had a fantastic night and I would thoroughly recommend. A huge thank you to the theatre staff who made our night extra special for my partner’s birthday read less

We were on the Jury bench which made the whole event really special and real. I wanted to leave a review to shout out to the absolutely amazing staff and how they went out of their way to assist my friend who has mobility difficulties. Tom bought her drinks to her seat and arranged for the lovely lady (sorry I didn't get her name) to help her to a lift as there are a few steps. Even when we were leaving and waiting for an Uber outside another staff member on her way home stopped to see if we were alright. What a fabulous night and thank you to you all read less

The show had us engrossed from beginning to end. The scenery changes were smooth and I found them fascinating to watch. The acting was brilliant and the venue was so fitting for this play.

We sat in the front row of the South Gallery, you did need to sit forward a little to see everything but these seats fitted the budget. Sitting further back in either the South or North Gallery will obscure you view a little. My advice would be to pay more, if you can and sit in the back few rows of the Courtroom stalls in the section nearest to the Judge's circle, any closer to the stage and you will be looking at the actors feet. Wherever you sit I am sure you will enjoy. read less
