Classic Agatha Christie murder mystery which opened in London in 1952 and has been running continuously ever since. After more than 20,000 performances the crowds are still flocking to discover who the perpetrator is.
As you might expect, the performances in this witty, elegant thriller are spot on. The country house setting is unchanged from a refurbishment in 1972 and the typical detective fiction characters give this piece a wonderfully British feel.
In many ways as comforting as a plate of baked beans in front of Bergerac, but also brilliantly suspenseful and we defy you to guess whodunnit!
