Absolutely brilliant on every score- the audience sits in a 'courtroom' watching Agatha Christie's story. Top performance by all actors. Left the theatre feeling dazzled- one of the best theatre experiences my daughter and I have ever had, and we have had a great many in different countries and languages. If you're planning to visit London, book your tickets for this - you will feel fortunate to have seen it. Even though it's unforgettable, I will go again next time I'm in London.

I am visiting England from the US. I thought it would be great to get in a show while in London, and, boy did I make a great choice. The show itself was fantastic. Beyond my expectations. To have the actors come in from all doors, utilizing the entire theater was so unexpected. The ambiance, setting is ideal. The venue is perfect. I wouldn't change a thing. This is now one of my top favorite shows. I look forward to seeing it again.

We (me and my 18 year old daughter) skipped a night of stand up comedy for this play, and certainly didn't regret it. Tense atmosphere and suspense in authentic settings. Engaged actors who give it all. I won't reveal the ending you will have to see for yourself ... it might be different from mine (you can even have a seat as the jury).
