AGATHA CHRISTIE FESTIVAL

This e ervescent, charming new comedy celebrates writers, womanhood, and the stories that shape our lives. In 1926, famed author Agatha Christie vanished for 11 days, reappearing without explanation. The real-life case of the “Missing Mrs. Christie” became a tabloid sensation, but the reasons behind her disappearance remain unknown. Now, 100 years later, a devoted superfan stumbles upon the clues that could finally crack the case.

APRIL 14 – MAY 10, 2026

Ten strangers with dark secrets find themselves marooned at a grand estate, trapped in a deadly game where no one can be trusted. Christie’s own acclaimed adaptation of her most famous masterpiece – the world’s #1 best-selling mystery novel – is filled with suspicious twists, surprising turns and memorable characters that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the shocking end.
