Audiences of the Lowry are set to be entertained by the new adaptation of the globally celebrated Agatha Christies’ Death on the Nile.
Adapted by Ken Ludwig, he story of the Death on the Nile will head to the Lowry in September as a part of a nationwide tour.
The tour will feature on stage from 26 September until Saturday 4 October.
Guests of the Lowry will be able to be welcomed on board a luxurious cruise under the heat of the Egyptian sun, a couple’s idyllic honeymoon is cut short by a brutal murder.
As secrets that have been buried in the sands of time finally resurface, can the world-famous detective, Hercule Poirot, untangle the web of lies and solve another crime?
The show will be directed by Lucy Bailey, with the UK and Ireland Tour being presented by Fiery Angel – and will aim to emulate the success of the sell-out tours of And Then There Were None and Murder on the Orient Express.
This is Lucy’s fifth Agatha Christie play since staging Witness for the Prosecution, still performing at London’s County Hall, and her second Poirot.
James continued: “I’m delighted to be following Murder on The Orient Express with another of Poirot’s most famous cases, Death on the Nile.
“It takes place in the midsummer heat of Egypt and is one of Agatha Christie’s most passion-driven thrillers.A group of holiday makers attracted by the ancient beauty of the Nile find themselves in a living nightmare of jealousy and revenge.
“Trapped on board a pleasure steamer and adrift on the Nile, it’s a voyage into the heart of darkness.”
Casting to the show is still yet to be announced – and more information about the show can be found here.
