When his wife agrees to testify\, can she be trusted? It’s up to the audience\, as the jury\, to decide whether Vole will walk free or spend the rest of his life in shackles.The play’s setting is London County Hall which served as the headquarters of local government for London for 64 years.

I can safely say that that was the only first night I have enjoyed… It was one of my plays that I like best myself.” \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n16:45 – 17:15\nDepart – Make your way back across Westminster bridge to the pier to pick up the coach on Embankment for the return journey home.\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n OUTLINE ITINERARY C – Tower of London > Riverboat ride > Free time \n\n\n\nApprox.
