Towards Zero

June 11-21
Titmus Theatre

By Agatha Christie and Gerald Verner 
Directed by Mia Self

Agatha Christie’s thrilling murder mystery, set in the drawing room of a clifftop house, is a layered drama of piercing intelligence.

When a house party gathers at Gull’s Point, the seaside home of Lady Tressilian, summer guests are entangled in the conflict between Nevile Strange, his wife Kay, and his ex-wife Audrey. In this nail-biting thriller, Christie probes the psychology of possession and jealousy in the shadow of a savage and brutal murder. The investigation unravels the complexities of the past and culminates in a delectably unpredictable ending.

A TheatreFEST Series production..
