Agatha Christie's And The There Were None at Plaza Theatre Co

Plaza Theatre Company presents Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None at its Dudley Hall venue. This marks the company's 207th Mainstage production since its founding in 2006. The play follows ten people summoned to a lonely island, where accusations surface and past misdeeds come to light. As guests begin to die in succession, fear and suspicion take hold, and each person must confront the possibility that the culprit is in their midst. The production highlights the taut mystery and twists that have made this story a staple of Christie's work.
