‘Where Is Mrs Christie?’ starring Liz Grand
Agatha Christie was one of the greatest thriller writers of all time and certainly the most prolific. In 1926, she was at the centre of a mystery as perplexing as any of her fiction, a series of events which sparked one of the biggest and most extensive police hunts in history. Her crashed car was discovered in Surrey and the famous author was missing, presumed dead by many, for eleven days. However, she was eventually found at a luxury hotel in Harrogate.
She claimed then, and for the rest of the life, that she was suffering from amnesia and remembered nothing. Neither the press nor the police believed her.
Actor Liz Grand presents her one-woman show ‘Where Is Mrs Christie?’ Did she suffer from amnesia? Was it a publicity stunt? Or was there a darker secret involved? In true thriller style, all will be revealed.
Past Reviews:
“Liz Grand's performance in the title role is compelling. So persuasive is she that we the
audience become co-conspirators. Her Mrs. Christie is irresistibly engaging, vulnerable,
confiding and ultimately indomitable in her strength of spirit. It is a master-class in nuanced
delivery and dramatic timing, deliberately tantalising, directed unfussily and designed for
spot-on period fidelity.”
Ian Barge, The Stage ★★★★
“The success (of the show) rests on the shoulders of a single person and Liz Grand was
superb in the role, creating a totally believable and likeable character.”
Pete Phillips, Choice Radio ★★★★★
“Liz Grand gives a clear and convincing performance as Mrs Christie…. the mystery
surrounding the writer of so many mysteries provides subject matter for an intriguing
evening and the full audience left satisfied and rewarded by a fascinating take on a national
puzzle.”
Tim Crow, Behind The Arras ★★★★
“This one-woman show is a thriller all in itself – magnificent!”
