MURDER ON THE NILE

This play is an absolute treat for all Agatha Christie fans.  It first opened in the West End in 1946 and in 2022 it was revamped as Death on the Nile in Kenneth Branagh’s film adaptation of the stage play.

A boat cruises down the Nile. On board are a glamorous, privileged and wealthy new bride, Kay Mostyn, and her far from wealthy new husband, Simon.  They are looking forward to an idyllic honeymoon. Their fellow passengers consist of the usual Agatha Christie mixture of eccentric characters including the groom’s jealous former girlfriend, Jacqueline; Canon Pennefather, a man of the cloth who is also related to the bride; a man of mystery called Smith; the foreign Doctor Bessner and the snobbish Miss Ffoliot-ffoulkes and her put upon niece Christina.  Also on board are the crew and Mrs Mostyn’s maid Louise.

Agatha Christie devotees will know what happens next – someone is murdered! Unfortunately in the stage play Miss Christie did not include Hercule Poirot in the cast so the mystery of who did it, why and how is left to Canon Pennefather to work out.

This is a brilliant nostalgic romp for “old” fans and a great introduction for anyone new to the machinations of Agatha Christie.  Be careful who you sail with!
