Agatha Christie's The Hollow

Agatha Christie's The Hollow tickets and regional UK dates

Agatha Christie's The Hollow is a touring drama in which Hercule Poirot, expecting a quiet country retreat, is drawn into a murder investigation at an elegant estate. Peter Polycarpou leads the cast under director Lucy Bailey for producer Fiery Angel. The production carries a 12+ age guidance.

The story

Guests gathered at The Hollow, a country estate, find old passions and new rivalries surfacing over the course of an evening. When a shot is fired and a body is discovered with a revolver close at hand, the scene looks almost arranged, which is precisely what unsettles Poirot. What appears straightforward turns out to be anything but, and the detective must work through layers of concealed history to find the truth.
