Description The play tonight is a courtroom drama - Repertory's first since the highly successful Witness for the Prosecution in 1960. Libel! uses the dramatic situations and tense dialogue of the English courts to tell the story of a suspected impersonation, a story based on an actual case, though the characters are entirely fictitious.
