PERIL IN THE ALPS

By Steven Dietz

Based in part on Agatha Christie’s “Poirot investigates”

Kidnapping, murder and blackmail!

Bella Duveen has vanished, and Arthur Hastings can think of no one better to find his sister-in-law than his good friend Hercule Poirot - a master sleuth who had saved her once before. Coincidentally, Poirot has just taken on a missing persons case that seems eerily similar – are they connected? And how are these disappearances intertwined with past mysteries that have already been solved? With the suspicion of a greater scheme at play, Poirot must travel to the snow-capped Alps, where the famed Belgian detective may finally meet his match.

Six actors bring to life dozens of eccentric characters and clever suspects in this diabolically funny mystery romp.

Why This Play?

“Agatha Christie’s work got me into theatre. Seeing THE MOUSETRAP was my first live theatre experience. I’ll never forget the excitement of that newness and the intrigue and focus needed to solve the puzzles. Christie only left us with a handful of plays. Yet, she has 66 detective novels, and we love the chance to see one of those novels adapted on stage, allowing us to continue seeing her work in new and exciting ways.”
