Overview
A best-selling crime story
Adapted for the stage by the Queen of Crime herself, this famous murder mystery masterfully weaves suspicion and intrigue to deliver a shocking tale of suspense. A mysterious host who knows everyone’s secrets lures ten strangers to a mansion on a secluded island. One by one, they start to disappear, eerily mirroring the deaths in an old 1600s nursery rhyme displayed in the house. With no way to escape and a killer among them, tension rises as they attempt to uncover the identity of the murderer before none are left to tell the tale.
