Agatha Christie plays are always popular at the Garrick – and Towards Zero is set to be no exception.
The play, a gripping murder mystery, is Christie at her finest and runs from Monday September 23rd to Saturday September 28th. In addition to featuring a chilling, gruesome murder and a whole host of well-rounded characters as suspects, the script also delves deep into human behaviour, becoming in turns an unpredictable melodrama, an intelligent psychological thriller, an exploration of mental health, and, for some light relief, a comedy of social status.
What is the connection between a colonial adventurer, a well known “lounge lizard”, a retired barrister and the complicated marital arrangements of a famous tennis player?
To the casual observer, apparently nothing. But when a house party gathers at “Gulls Point”, the seaside home of the elderly (and rich) Camilla Tressilian, earlier events come to a dramatic head, and Superintendent Battle must unravel these connections if the wrong person is not to be hanged for murder.
The play, by Agatha Christie and Gerald Verner, premiered in the West End at the St James’s Theatre in September, 1956.
