Now in its seventh thrilling year, the Official Agatha Christie

Theatre Company presents a stylish new production of the

queen of crime’s classic thriller Murder on the Nile.

On board a steamer, cruising under the scorching Egyptian

sun, honeymooners Simon Mostyn and his wealthy socialite

wife Kay find themselves being pursued by an old flame

of the newly wedded groom.

Then tragedy strikes - a body is discovered.

And all fingers point to Simon’s ex fiancée.

But everything is not what it seems, and holidaying cleric

Canon Pennefather is drawn into a web of intrigue and deceit

as he finds himself on the trail of a ruthless murderer.

This latest instalment from the Official Agatha Christie Theatre
