Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None retold at Nottingham Theatre Royal

The best selling crime novel of all time is brought to life on stage in Nottingham tomorrow in a classic Christie mystery.

And Then There Were None is staged at the Theatre Royal from Tuesday to Saturday as part of its latest UK tour.

This new production has been reinvented for the 21st Century, directed by the renowned Lucy Bailey (Agatha Christie’s Witness for the Prosecution).

Ten strangers are lured to a solitary mansion off the coast of Devon. When a terrible storm cuts them off from the mainland, and with their hosts mysteriously absent, the true reason for their presence on the island becomes horribly clear, as secrets from their past come back to haunt each and every one of them.

And Then There Were None is not only Agatha Christie’s most read work, but also the best-selling crime novel of all time, selling more than 100m copies worldwide since its first publication in 1939.

The cast are Bob Barrett (Holby City, Propeller West End and UK Tour) as Doctor Armstrong, Joseph Beattie (Hex and Silent Witness) as Philip Lombard, Oliver Clayton (National Youth Theatre and The Play That Goes Wrong) as Anthony Marston, and Jeffery Kissoon (National Theatre and Complicite, Allelujah!) as General Mackenzie.

Andrew Lancel (National tours, West End and Coronation Street) takes the role of William Blore alongside Nicola May-Taylor (Rutherford And Son) as Jane Pinchbeck, Katy Stephens (RSC, Globe and London’s Burning) as Emily Brent, Lucy Tregear (The Country Wife) as Georgina Rogers, Sophie Walter (The Girl On The Train) as Vera Claythorne, Matt Weyland (Witness For The Prosecution) as Narracott/Understudy, and David Yelland (Poirot, Foyle’s War and The Crown) as Judge Wargrave.

Following her successful production of Witness for the Prosecution, director Lucy Bailey returns with UK Theatre Award-winning set and costume designer Mike Britton, lighting designer Chris Davey, sound designer and composer Elizabeth Purnell and movement direction by Ayse Tashkiran.

In recent years there have been several high profile fresh and modern takes on Agatha Christie’s best loved titles in film, television, and on stage across the UK; all proving the enduring popularity and modern relevance of her work with global audiences.
