Witness (play)

Witness is a one act play written in 1968 by Terrence McNally. It was first performed on November 21, 1968 at New York City's off-Broadway Gramercy Arts Theatre, located at 138 E 27th Street. It starred James Coco, Sally Kirkland, Richard Marr, and Joe Ponazecki, and was paired with another McNally play, Sweet Eros. The production ran through the following January.

The play depicts a man who is planning to assassinate the President of the United States from the window of a building, all the while keeping a gagged and bound victim as a witness to his sanity.[1]

Witness is one of McNally's earlier plays and got mixed reviews.[2][3]
