Agatha Christie’s THE MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR AT STYLES

Agatha Christie’s THE MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR AT STYLES
Adapted by T. James Belich from the novel by Agatha Christie
Playing in the Long Beach Playhouse’s Mainstage Theater
Jan. 13 – Feb. 10, 2024
Directed by Phyllis B. Gitlin

In this adaptation of Agatha Christie’s debut novel, it’s 1917, and with the Great War raging on the Continent, philanthropist Emily Inglethorp helps resettle war refugees in the English countryside. Among them is Hercule Poirot, formerly of the Belgian police, and Arthur Hastings, a wounded soldier on leave. When someone is murdered at her country estate, Poirot must use his “little grey cells” to unravel the motives of an enigmatic husband, a cash-strapped stepson, a doctor expert in poison, and the rest of the dubious household. As Poirot and Hastings join forces for their very first case, will they succeed, or will a killer escape justice?
