Murder in Petersfield
My sister got us all tickets for the Winton Players' production of Murder on the Nile at Petersfield. It's a 1944 play by Christie based on her 1937 book Death on the Nile, with Hercule Poirot air-brushed out, and the cast of characters much reduced.
I think this is a very hard plot to stage - and almost impossible to believe ever being carried through in reality - although that did not deter the well-known attempts with Peter Ustinov and David Suchet.
Anyway - this was a splendid production. I could find only a couple of pictures of them in rehearsal, which is a shame as the finished set was an absolute delight, being both beautiful to look at as well as evoking the right climate and period feel.
