An idyllic weekend in the English countryside turns deadly in Agatha Christie’s classic whodunit, “The Hollow”, presented by the Cape Town Theatre Company and directed by Barbara Basel.
When Sir Henry and Lady Lucy Angkatell invite family and friends to their country home, tensions simmer beneath the polite surface. Among the guests is the handsome, magnetic Dr John Cristow … and the three women in his life: his long-suffering wife, his secret mistress, and a glamorous former flame.
Then a gunshot shatters the afternoon quiet and Dr. Cristow is found dead. And everyone present had a reason to want him gone. Secrets unravel and hidden passions come to light and, as always, the truth proves far more complex than it first appears.
Brimming with witty banter, intense character drama, and Christie’s signature suspense, “The Hollow” will keep you guessing until the final curtain.
