The production, which is directed by Tom Rushen, runs through Sunday, Dec. 11.

Set in post-war London of the 1950s, the play is a “whodunit” with numerous plot twists and turns that keep the audience guessing until the very last scene.

Rushen’s cast leads the audience through the unraveling of an intellectually challenging mystery. Audience members must pay close attention as they brace themselves for the final twist of the plot.

This latest production of WCT merges talent and extensive experience from both cast and crew.

Rushen, a seasoned director ("Sabrina Fair," "The Importance of Being Earnest," and "Mrs. Cratchit’s Wild Christmas Binge" at WCT), also produces the East/West Playfest, a collaboration with Eastbound Theatre, a division of the Milford Fine Arts Council.

Producer Dave Rylander, both WCT board member and technical director, recently produced "They’re Playing Our Song" with WCT; and stage manager Ann Baker has directed, produced and has managed stage for many productions, including WCT’s "The Miracle Worker" and "Mrs. Crachit’s Wild Christmas Binge."

Collectively, members of the cast have performed in hundreds of theatrical productions around Fairfield County. The cast consists of Travis Branch, Geoffrey Gilbert, Larry Greeley, Cindy Hartog, Barry Hatrick, Peter Haynes, Briana O’Brien LaMare, Stafford Nibley, John Pyron, Samantha Pattinson, David Pirrie, Jeff Pliskin and David Victor.

"Witness for the Prosecution" is produced by arrangement with Samuel French, Inc., and has performances on Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m., and at 2 p.m. Sundays, with a Thursday performance on Dec. 1 at 8 p.m.

Tickets are $25, $23 for seniors and students, and can be purchased at westportcommunitytheatre.com or by calling (203) 226-1983.
