And Then There Were None at the Everyman

10 May – Agatha Christie’s bestseller And Then There Were None will be performed by an all-star cast at the Everyman Theatre in Cheltenham this spring, promising thriller fans a murderous night to remember.

Murder and mystery are set to sweep through Cheltenham this May, so prepare for the missing person count to climb – at the Everyman Theatre that is, when Agatha Christie’s bestseller And Then There Were None takes to the stage.

Considering more than 100 million copies of Agatha Christie’s original novel have been snapped-up around the world, expect quite a turnout of thriller fans when the stage version hits Gloucestershire on Monday 5 May, particularly as this third tour from The Agatha Christie Theatre Company follows hugely successful performances of The Hollow and The Unexpected Guest.

Promising to thrill and enthral audiences as the murders unfold, Agatha Christie’s own stage adaptation of the original novel sees a group of ten strangers lured to a remote island off the coast of Devon, where the play begins.

On their arrival it is discovered that their host, an eccentric millionaire, is missing. Before long each of the guests are accused of having a guilty secret and by the end of the evening the guests become nine. Stranded on the island by a torrential storm and haunted by an ancient nursery rhyme, one by one the guests begin to die. With only the fallen believed to be innocent, who amongst them is the killer?

Presented by the Agatha Christie Theatre Company, the all-star cast features Gerald Harper, best known for playing the title role in Adam Adamant Lives!; Alex Ferns – the infamous Trevor in EastEnders; Denis Lill; Chloe Newsome; Jennifer Wilson; Peter Byrne and Mark Wynter.
