Reviews
"The writing is tight and sophisticated: well-informed characters neatly framed by the absorbing narrative voice of savvy Hattie."
— Roe Lane, Fringe Review
"Both homage to and dark departure from the traditional Agatha Christie murder mystery, this antipodean re-imagining of the classic tale of death at a country house turns the crime genre upside down in more ways than one. The play boasts a cast of intriguing characters, all brought to life by phenomenally talented Samantha Hill, and all bound together in a cunning and unexpected narrative that will keep you guessing to the very end."
— SNAFU Theatre
"When a mysterious death sparks Arthur’s detective instincts, a series of increasingly dark events force Hattie to confront some deeply conflicting emotions about the nature of familial bonds."
