The Hollow - Marlowe Theatre

Agatha Christie’s

# The Hollow

A Hercule Poirot mystery.

In a new version by Tamsin Oglesby

Directed by Lucy Bailey

Renowned detective Hercule Poirot expected a quiet weekend break in the country; instead, he’s drawn into one of the most unsettling cases of his career.

At The Hollow, an elegant country estate, a glamorous circle of guests gather together one summer evening. But beneath the sunlit charm, something darker coils. Old passions refuse to die. New rivalries ignite. Dangerous infatuations take hold. Then – a shot rings out.

A body is discovered in the drawing room. A smoking revolver in an unsteady hand. The scene appears almost staged; a shockingly straightforward crime…

It is anything but.

As alibis unravel and masks begin to slip, Poirot finds himself navigating a treacherous web of desire, jealousy and betrayal, where love curdles into cruelty – and everyone has something to hide.

Following sell-out tours of Murder on the Orient Express and Death on the Nile, Fiery Angel reunites with director Lucy Bailey to bring this darkly seductive new staging of one of Agatha Christie’s most compelling mysteries The Hollow to theatres across the UK.
