THE HOLLOW
By Agatha Christie; directed by Amy Cook
An unhappy game of romantic follow-the-leader explodes into murder one weekend at The Hollow, home of Sir Henry and Lucy Angkatell, arguably Christie's finest comic grande dame. Dr. Cristow, the Harley Street lothario, is at the center of the trouble when, assembled in one place, we find his dull but devoted wife Gerda, his mistress and prominent sculptor Henrietta and his former lover and Hollywood film star Veronica. Also visiting are Edward and Midge whose romantic assertions are likewise thrown into the mix. As the list of romantic associations grows, so does the list of potential suspects when one guest is shot dead. Nearly everyone has a motive but only one did the deed. The play provides a humorous romp for an inspector trying desperately to solve the murder among the eccentrics at the English country house.
