In “And then There Were None, arguably Agatha Christie’s most popular work, 10 strangers are summoned to a remote island off the English coast, under various pretenses, but all promised a fun getaway.Within hours, the characters’ hidden pasts are slowly revealed as the tension builds. Who is behind the madness? Can anyone be trusted? And will any of them make it home alive?
The drama was written as a novel in 1939 by Christie, the Queen of Crime, and has subsequently been performed on stage and screen countless times, including a BBC miniseries. It’s the best-selling crime novel of all time!
In the play, the characters are told to come to Soldier Island for a house party. But it’s quickly revealed that the characters all share an unpleasant secret that connects them to each other. Audiences will be thoroughly entertained by this show full of mystery, with a generous sprinkle of dark humor.
“I love Agatha Christie’s character development in all of her work,” said Director Thomas Beck. “But this is one of her best.”
Co-Director Neil Schleifer said, “The most appealing thing is, the audience is getting to participate – actively, continually trying to solve a puzzle – while being completely entertained.”
