It might have been written 85 years ago, but Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None still holds the top spot as the best-selling crime novel of all time.
The novelist, who is aptly known as the Queen of Crime, is being immortalised on stage with a thrilling adaptation of the beloved book at the Churchill Theatre in Bromley.
And Then There Were None was the writer’s 29th novel, following on from well-known works such as Murder on the Orient Express and Death on the Nile.
The murder mystery was published in 1939 and has sold more than 100 million copies worldwide.
When 10 strangers are invited to a dinner party by an unknown host at a remote island off the coast of Devon, the guests arrive questioning who sent the invitations and why.
During the dinner, a storm hits and cuts off all contact with the outside world. The guests, now stranded on the island, begin to disappear one by one and the real reason for their visit is soon discovered.
The touring stage adaptation is now gripping audiences across the country under the guidance of director Lucy Bailey, best known for London’s Witness for the Prosecution show.
The cast includes Holby City’s Bob Barrett, The Play That Goes Wrong star Oliver Clayton, National Theatre actor Jeffrey Kissoon and former Coronation Street resident Andrew Lancel.
It’s not the first time that Agatha Christie’s writing has been brought to life on stage.
The Devon-born author’s classic whodunnit, The Mousetrap, is the world's longest-running play and has been performed on the West End since 1952.
And Then There Were None will be at the Churchill Theatre in Bromley from Tuesday, April 2 to Saturday, April 6. You can book tickets online here.
