MURDER AFTER HOURS (The Hollow) — (August 2 — September 8, 2024)
By Agatha Christie
The Group Rep presents Agatha Christie’s favorite play MURDER AFTER HOURS (The Hollow) directed by Jules Aaron and produced by Cynthia Payo at L on the Main Stage of the Lonny Chapman Theatre in North Hollywood from August 2-September 8.
Part Downton Abbey, part Noel Coward, this is Agatha Christie at her champagne-escapist-mysterious best. A weekend in the country leads to long-hidden love revealed, a lover’s triangle exposed, movie star confessions and — of course — deadly deeds. An impatient, cantankerous Scotland Yard Inspector puts a wonderful froth to the investigation and wild-mouse-ride of unravelings.
Originally titled MURDER AFTER HOURS, it was re-titled THE HOLLOW (named after the estate where the action takes place). Miss Christie felt that this was her best play, and it differs from the book substantially.
What critics have said about the play:
“As good a stage whodunit as we have had for some time.” – London Observer
“A grade A plot – the best Christie in years.” – San Francisco Chronicle
“…Christie’s crafty twists and turns still keep you guessing, pondering, and wondering for an entertaining experience…In addition to keeping you on the edge of your seat, this fun production of The Hollow will keep your brain plotting and repositioning mental clues for an engaging experience.” – DC THEATER ARTS
