Marshall FluhartyMaroon Echoes Assistant Editor This Year’s Fall play, Witness For The Prosecution by Agatha Christe is a fantastic mystery/drama about a man named Leonard Vole who becomes very close with an older woman named Emily French.
When Emily dies unexpectedly, Mr. Vole is immediately suspected of killing her. He goes to trial and there we learn that he was recently added to her will. Vole’s wife defends him on trial, using fake letters to prove his innocence to the court. He is acquitted, but while celebrating a younger woman walks on stage and kisses Vole. His wife, surprised and angered, asks him why he kissed her? He then explains that he doesn't need her anymore, ending the play in a dramatic flair of passionate tensions. The high school's rendition was brought to life by Luke Ryon, Yorke Prough, Tristen Davis, Piper Wiley, Jaci Childres, Chloe Ward, Alyssa Striegel, Andrew Raunbeuler, Jamie Johannes, Olivia Larson, Blake Bentler, Logan Lee, Logan White, Jacob Richtman, Jon Myers, Lilly Pereira, and Grace Kelley is student director. This small team all worked together very well to make a successful play in such a short amount of time. Senior Yorke Prough, who played Mr. Justice Wainwright, the judge, spoke very highly of his experience. “It was a lot of fun, being a senior, but it was also exhausting with the hours-long practices.” “I was Mr. Justice Wainright, the judge. It was pretty important especially for the outcome.” Yorke says, though not spoiling the ending. He, like other actors, were incredibly happy with their parts and the outcome of the play. Junior Grace Kelly, the student director, also had a few things to say on the matter, “My job is to act as the mini Mrs. Depriest. I have to stay on top of everyone's lines, making sure the cast remembers and practices their parts, I even made a Quizlet to help a performer remember their long paragraphs of lines.” She continued on about her duties, “I have to be strict, we all love to have fun, but I have to be sure that we stay on task and get some serious work done.” Grace Kelley relished the finished product, “I'm very proud of how the play turned out and how much the cast grew and improved over the course of a few months. I'm looking forward to this spring's musical!”
