The official show site describes the staging as a courtroom experience in London County Hall, on the South Bank.

The production’s creative team includes designer William Dudley, lighting designer Chris Davey, sound designer Mic Pool and casting director Ben Armstrong, all listed alongside the cast on the production’s official credits page. With its immersive setting and Christie’s sharply constructed mystery, the latest company offers West End audiences another chance to experience this distinctive play in the room where the case unfolds.
