This little known mystery will surprise and delight Christie fans. Written in 1934, the story concerns a physicist named Sir Claude Amory who has come up with a formula for an atom bomb. In the first act, Sir Claude is poisoned (in his coffee, naturally) and Hercule Poirot is called in to solve the case. He does so after many wonderful twists and turns in true Christie fashion.

MURDERED TO DEATH
Xenia Area Community Theatre
April 8-17
Xenia
Cast: Penelope Winter as Mildred, Kylee Pauley as Dorothy, Harry Wayne Shepard as Bunting, Tony Williams as Colonel Charles Craddock, Tamar Fishbein as Margaret Craddock, Jacinda Bridger as Elizabeth Hartley-Trumpington, Dimitri Markov as Pierre Marceau, Edith Waugh as Joan Maple, Christian Yates as Constable Thompkins & Tony Copper as Inspector Pratt
This hilarious spoof of the best of Agatha Christie traditions is set in a country manor house in the 1930’s, with an assembled cast of characters guaranteed to delight – Bunting, the butler; an English Colonel with the prerequisite stiff upper lip; a shady French art dealer and his moll; the bumbling local inspector and a well-meaning local sleuth who seems to attract murder wherever she goes – they’re all here, and all caught up in the side-splitting antics which follow the mysterious death of the house’s owner. It soon becomes clear that the murderer isn’t finished yet, but will the murderer be unmasked before everyone else has met their doom, or will readers and audiences die laughing first?
