ABOUT THE PLAYWRIGHT AGATHA CHRISTIE is the author not only of The Mousetrap, the longest running stage production in history but also Witness for the Prosecution and And Then There Were None to name but a few of her greatest stage successes. Her novels have sold more than 2 billion copies around the world, and she is only outsold by the Bible and Shakespeare. Born in 1890, in Torquay, Devon, England, to an American father and English mother, she wrote her first play Black Coffee (the only play in which she chose to feature Poirot) in 1930 having been disappointed by the way The Murder of Roger Ackroyd had been adapted into Alibi in 1928. She adapted her bestselling novel And Then There Were None for stage in 1943, giving it a different ending, followed by, in quick succession, Appointment with Death (1945), Murder on the Nile (1946) and The Hollow (1951). With The Mousetrap (1952), Witness for the Prosecution (1953), and Spider’s Web (1954), she became the only female playwright to have three plays running in the West End at the same time. Later plays include Towards Zero (1956) co-adapted with Gerald Verner, Verdict (1958) possibly her most unusual play, Go Back for Murder (1960), and Rule of Three (1962) a series of three one act plays. After a hugely successful career and a wonderful life, Ms. Christie died peacefully on 12 January 1976. You can read Agatha Christie’s own account of her life in An Autobiography which was published after her death in 1977. †Member of Florida Repertory Theatre’s Ensemble of Theatre Artists.

Many years ago, Cory Myers met a friend at the suburban Hartford nightclub Fantasia. While there, she had a conversation with the booth deejay about her interest in radio. Myers spent a year-and-a-half as an intern for that deejay, Damon Scott, at Hot AC WTIC-FM before mov- ing on to a career that culminated in her now two-decade run at crosstown Country WWYZ. Last month, Scott joined Myers in mornings at WWYZ. As for the club, it’s now called Cadillac Ranch. And, yes, they play country. Cory Myers Chemistry Lab: With their history, Scott and Myers have an obvious chemistry that may actually be combustible. “I have a couple of working titles for this story,” jokes Scott. “’The Future of Country Music’ or ‘Two Mete- ors Collide.’” With that, he and Myers are off My Guy: The Curb crew celebrates Dylan Scott’s first No. 1 “My to the races, finishing each other’s sentences Girl” today in Nashville.

  • Poirot Reading List
    Suggested Reading order for Christie’s Poirot novels and short story collections The most important point to note is – make sure you read Curtain last. Other points to note are: 1. Lord Edgware Dies should be read before After the Funeral 2. Five Little Pigs should be read before Elephants Can Remember 3. Cat Among the Pigeons should be read before Hallowe’en Party 4. Mrs McGinty’s Dead should be read before Hallowe’en Party and Elephants Can Remember 5. Murder on the Orient Express should be read before Murder in Mesopotamia 6. Three Act Tragedy should be read before Hercule Poirot’s Christmas Otherwise, it’s possible to read the Poirot books in any order – but we suggest the following: The Mysterious Affair at Styles 1920 Murder on the Links 1923 Christmas Adventure (short story) 1923 Poirot Investigates (short stories) 1924 Poirot's Early Cases (short stories) 1974 The Murder of Roger Ackroyd 1926 The Big Four 1927 The Mystery of the Blue Train 1928 Black Coffee (play novelisation by Charles Osborne) 1997 Peril at End House 1932 The Mystery of the Baghdad Chest (short story) 1932 (original) replaced by The Mystery of the Spanish Chest expanded version (1960) Second Gong (short story) 1932 Lord Edgware Dies 1933 http://www.agathachristie.com Murder on the Orient Express 1934 Three Act Tragedy 1935 Death in the Clouds 1935 The ABC Murders 1936 Murder in Mesopotamia 1936 Four Poirot short stories appear in non-Poirot short story collections: Second Gong (1932) and Yellow Iris (1937) appear in Cards on the Table 1936 Problem at Pollensa Bay and other stories (1991) in the UK and in Yellow Iris (short story) 1937 Witness for the Prosecution and other stories (1948) and Murder in the Mews (four novellas) 1937 The Regatta Mystery and other stories (1939) respectively in the US.

  • Agatha Christie - Third Girl
    Agatha Christie - Third Girl CHAPTER ONE HERCULE POIROT was sitting at the breakfast table. At his right hand was a steaming cup of chocolate. He had always had a sweet tooth. To accompany the chocolate was a brioche. It went agreeably with chocolate. He nodded his approval. This was from the fourth shop he had tried. It was a Danish patisserie but infinitely superior to the so-called French one near by. That had been nothing less than a fraud. He was satisfied gastronomically. His stomach was at peace. His mind also was at peace, perhaps somewhat too much so. He had finished his Magnum Opus, an analysis of great writers of detective fiction. He had dared to speak scathingly of Edgar Alien Poe, he had complained of the lack of method or order in the romantic outpourings of Wilkie Collins, had lauded to the skies two American authors who were practically unknown, and had in various other ways given honour where honour was due and sternly withheld it where he considered it was not. He had seen the volume through the press, had looked upon the results and, apart from a really incredible number of printer's errors, pronounced that it was good. He had enjoyed this literary achievement and enjoyed the vast amount of reading he had had to do, had enjoyed snorting with disgust as he flung a book across the floor (though always remembering to rise, pick it up and dispose of it tidily in the waste-paper basket) and had enjoyed appreciatively nodding his head on the rare occasions when such approval was justified.

To tease the great detective, her guests stage a mock murder beside the swimming pool. Unfortunately, the victim plays the scene for real. In the confusion, a gun sinks to the bottom of the pool. It seems everyone in the drama is a suspect — and each a victim of love. Suddenly, with Poirot: The Hollow terrific shock, with that feeling as of blurring on a cinematograph screen before the picture comes to focus, Hercule Poirot realised that this artificially set scene had a point of reality. First published as a novel in the US in by Dodd, Mead and Company, The Hollow remains an example of classic Christie: a gathering of guests at a country house is disturbed by a sudden death and luckily Poirot is in attendance. The main players include a downtrodden wife, her successful husband, and the reappearance of an old Poirot: The Hollow. It was originally published in the US as Murder after Hours. So the play was adapted, Poirot ousted, and it was produced in under the same title, The Hollow. It was adapted for TV in and starred David Suchet. Some changes were made to the Poirot: The Hollow, but overall it remained fairly true to the novel. Skip to main navigation Skip to content. Home Stories The Hollow. The Hollow Buy.

  • Black Coffee Character Breakdown
    Black Coffee Character Breakdown All characters (except those noted below) Speak with an educated British accent. Think Downton Abbey, Upstairs Downstairs, Colin Firth, Alan Rickman, Maggie Smith and Emma Thompson for examples. Dr. Carelli-speaks with an Italian accent that does not have to be that authentic. Inspector Japp is decidedly working class. His accent is more rough, less polished. Think the servants of Downton Abbey or the Northerners of Game of Thrones. Think more Michael Caine, Bob Hoskins, Catherine Tate, and Sean Bean for examples. Miss Treadwell (female, late 20’s-60’s) She is the faithful servant, but at the same time knows all “the dirty laundry” of her employers. Sir Claud Amory (male, 50’s plus) He is the irascible Lord of the manor, who has no affection for his relatives and is devoted solely to his scientific discoveries. Caroline Amory (female, 50’s plus) Claud’s dotty younger, maiden sister who never stops talking. She is very conservative, innocent, and prone to not quite getting the full picture of what goes on around her. She has no idea that half of what she says is funny and often inappropriate. Richard Amory (male, early 30’s-mid 40’s) He is the only son of Claud Amory. He’d rather pursue a military career then be under his father’s thumb. He’s not stupid, but he’s not the scientific genius that his father is. Newly married, he is very much in love with his wife Lucia who he married after a brief whirlwind courtship. Lucia Amory (female, mid 20’s-mid 30’s) She is Richard’s half- English and half-Italian wife who was largely raised throughout the European continent.

  • Agatha Christie
    book & film club: Agatha Christie Discussion Questions & Activities Discussion Questions 1 For her first novel,The Mysterious Affair at Styles, Agatha Christie wanted her detective to be “someone who hadn’t been used before.” Thus, the fastidious retired policeman Hercule Poirot was born—a fish-out-of-water, inspired by Belgian refugees she encountered during World War I in the seaside town of Torquay, where she grew up. When a later Poirot mystery, The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, was adapted into a stage play, Christie was unhappy that the role of Dr. Sheppard’s spinster sister had been rewritten for a much younger actress. So she created elderly amateur detective Jane Marple to show English village life through the eyes of an “old maid”—an often overlooked and patronized character. How are Miss Marple and Monsieur Poirot different from “classic” crime solvers such as police officials or hard-boiled private eyes? How do their personalities help them to be more effective than the local authorities? Which modern fictional sleuths, in literature, film, and television, seem to be inspired by Christie’s creations? 2 Miss Marple and Poirot crossed paths only once—in a not-so-classic 1965 British film adaptation of The ABC Murders called The Alphabet Murders (played, respectively, by Margaret Rutherford and Tony Randall). In her autobiography, Christie writes that her readers often suggested that she should have her two iconic sleuths meet. “But why should they?” she countered. “I am sure they would not enjoy it at all.” Imagine a new scenario in which the shrewd amateur and the egotistical professional might join forces.
