Leonard Vole is arrested for killing an older woman who, unbeknown to him, had made him her principal heir. His wife agrees to testify, but instead of arguing for his innocence, testifies for the prosecution! Will Vole be convicted or will the mountain of evidence against him be overturned? Why is his wife testifying against him? Who was the killer? This classic play, combining murder mystery and courtroom drama, is being performed in the unique venue of Selwyn College Chapel. Excited? So are we!!
