Agatha Christie's 'The Hollow'

Following on the success of last year's 'An Unexpected Guest', Bijou Theatre Productions returns with another Agatha Christie favourite - The Hollow.

An unhappy game of romantic follow-the-leader explodes into murder one weekend at The Hollow, home of Sir Henry and Lucy Angkatell, arguably Christie’s finest comic grande dame. Dr. Cristow, the Harley Street lothario, is at the centre of the trouble when, assembled in one place, we find his dull but devoted wife Gerda, his mistress and prominent sculptor Henrietta and his former lover and Hollywood film star Veronica. Also visiting are Edward and Midge whose romantic assertions are likewise thrown into the mix. As the list of romantic associations grow so does the list of potential suspects when Cristow is shot dead. Nearly everyone has a motive but only one of them did the deed.

"The Hollow is a 'who's going to get it' that quickly turns into a 'whodunnit'. A genuine crowd pleaser and a worthwhile evening of entertainment". - The New York Times

"To the end her listeners stay rapt... The main interest of the play as a piece of writing, is in the mystery; but Mrs. Christie writes quick, speakable dialogue and, gleefully, her cast keeps us guessing until the dying minutes of the final act" - The Times
