In this, its diamond anniversary year, Agatha Christie's stellar stage whodunnit is being brought to the wider UK masses, from Aberdeen to Truro, until the end of June next year.
The Theatre Royal is only its second touring venue, but the production already seems very practised and comfortable, and in no way stale. The stunning wood-panelled set, the main gathering area of Monkswell Manor, alerts us to the period of the piece, and Christie's dialogue, although it has dated in nuance, speaks enough of the human psyche to keep a more challenging and cynically modern crowd at cheer.
