Following sell-out tours of And Then There Were None, Murder on the Orient Express and Death on the Nile, producers Fiery Angel and director Lucy Bailey (director of the West End hit Witness for the Prosecution) partner once again to bring one of Agatha Christie’s most psychologically charged mysteries to the stage this autumn.
In a new version by Tamsin Oglesby (National Theatre, Old Vic Theatre, RSC), the production comes to Glasgow’s Theatre Royal from Tuesday 25 until Saturday 29 May 2027 as part of a nationwide tour.
Renowned detective Hercule Poirot expected a quiet break in the country; instead he’s drawn into one of the most unsettling cases of his career.
At The Hollow, an elegant country estate, a glamorous circle of guests gather together one summer evening. But beneath the sunlit charm, something darker coils. Old passions refuse to die. New rivalries ignite. Dangerous infatuations take hold. Then — a shot rings out.
A body is discovered. A smoking revolver in an unsteady hand. The scene appears almost staged; a shockingly straightforward crime…. It is anything but.
