February 3, 2006 – February 5, 2006     

  Set in 1932, on a foggy night, on a lonely Welsh country road, Michael Starkwedder mistakenly drives his car into a ditch where he is forced to abandon it. Looking for help, he comes to a house which he enters to find a woman, gun in hand, standing over a man’s body. From here, Agatha Christie’s unexpected guest finds himself embroiled in a claustrophobic atmosphere where everyone has motive, no one is who they really are, and the mischievous plot twists and turns in solving the crime are endless. A true representative of the mystery genre, this devious and surprising play will toy with our audience’s emotions until the very last scene.
