We went to see Witness for the prosecution in London. The interactive audience experience was an extra bonus. Our seats were in a great position to see the actors performance in full view. Booking was quick and easy, and tickets delivered to the App straight away. I would definitely use headout again for a flawless booking experience.

The actors were so real and convincing. They showed a great deal of emotion for court drama, and the seats could not have been better from any angle. I was very impressed at how the staging was done given that the area was so small. We thoroughly enjoyed the performance!

What an environment to stage a play about a courtroom case, in an actual courtroom!! It makes you feel part of it all. Agatha Christies stories are always a good plot, even when you know how it is going to end. Must see show when you are in London. Great actors all around! I loved every minute!

First, the setting in Council chambers and the change of sets really set the scene. The acting was totally believable and the excellent Agathie Christie plot with a double twist was fun. I really felt like I was in a real situation and not a performance.

Incredible and genuine atmosphere because of the context of the story and the entire framing of the play. Use of a jury made up of common people was also a great touch.
