Running
for more than 60 years, this Agatha Christie’s who-done-it is the longest
running play in history and it’s easy to see why. The plot is simple, yet brilliantly executed.
Eight members of cast snowed in in a guesthouse on a cold winter’s night with
no way of contacting the outside world due to a downed telephone line and with
a murderer amongst them. Christopher Wren (no, not the architect) was my
favourite character; his crazy, energetic presence is annoying, in a good way. Unlike
the irritation felt towards the miserable Mrs Boyle and my quiet glee over her
demise. Before intermission I had correctly deciphered who done it and eagerly
awaited the second half to see my decipherment proved correct.
