“Those familiar with the Christie canon will find it easy to spot the murderer among this roll-call but this is not the only point of seeing the production. This is a beautifully preserved example of a country house murder mystery, a throwback to theatre going in the thirties. And should a disgruntled cab-driver tell you whodunnit there are several other moments of suspense and surprise in store to keep you guessing...An entertaining night out.”
