WITNESS THIS will whisk you into the daring world of the play at the heart of it all: Witness for the Persecution an audacious new play adapted from the iconic 1957 film starring Marlena Dietrich. This new incarnation by the provocative Sky Gilbert - directed by the brilliant Ed Roy and starring the iconic Bon Vivant Elley Ray - is a thrilling devilishly seductive ride murder mystery that will twist and turn until you’re left breathless unsure of what’s real and what’s imagined. The kind of show that will keep you at the edge of your seat—and we haven’t even begun to talk about the after-party.


THE NIGHT YOU WILL NEVER FORGET:


The Mesmerizing David Tomlinson - our host with the most - will guide you through a labyrinth of surreal delights leading you on a journey where the boundary between audience and performer disappears and everyone is swept into the glamour and revelry of it all.


Let the music pulse and surge through your veins each note a seductive whisper each chord a call to adventure. Enter a world where puppetry bends the laws of physics and imagination telling stories that will chill thrill and captivate you. Prepare for gravity-defying feats acrobatics that will leave you breathless and performances that will have you wondering if the laws of nature have simply ceased to exist. Witness dance that will awaken long-forgotten desires. It’s not just a performance; it’s an exploration of everything that makes us alive.


A NIGHT OF DEBAUCHERY MYSTERY & LUXURY:


There will be secrets you’ll uncover passions you’ll never forget and a world of luxurious indulgence and otherworldly fantasy you’ll never want to leave. You’ll laugh you’ll gasp you’ll wonder if you’ve just entered a dream or a nightmare—but one thing’s for sure: this is a night that will haunt your heart forever.
