And Then There Were None

by Agatha Christie

Directed by Kay Roth

Performances:  Oct. 30, 31, Nov. 6, 7, 8(m), 12, 13, 14 2009

Just in time for Halloween, the classic Agatha Christie who-dunnit (previously produced here and elsewhere under the titleTen Little Indians) puts eight strangers on an isolated island estate, invited by a host they don't quite recall and who doesn't seem to be on hand.

A mysterious voice, using a nursery rhyme and a set of toy soldiers on a mantelpiece to illustrate the point, accuses each of having gotten away with murder. Soon the houseguests are dropping off one by one, and trying desperately to uncover the mystery before it's too late.
