It's a honeymoon voyage down the Nile...where every passenger has a reason to kill! Murder on the Nile, Agatha Christie's own staging of her famous novel, Death on the Nile, is set on a paddle steamer cruising the legendary Nile River in 1940’s Egypt. The passengers aboard are abuzz when a famous heiress and her penniless new husband board the ship. Class, money and reputation are all at stake in one way or another for the passengers, and before they know it deceit, theft and murder quickly make waves on the river. There's a spurned lover, a protective uncle, a troubled German doctor, and a host of colorful and mysterious characters add to the drama and suspense of this classic Agatha Christie mystery.
Who can be trusted? Who holds the truth? Who is a suspect? Whodunit?
Judson Theatre Company brings its trademark touch to its fourth production of a Christie play, making it a classic all over again.
Agatha Christie is known throughout the world as the Queen of Crime. Her books have sold over a billion copies in English with another billion in foreign languages. She is the most widely published author of all time and, in many languages, outsold only by the Bible and Shakespeare. She is the author of 66 crime novels, 150 short stories, over 20 plays, and six novels written under the name Mary Westmacott. Her novels include Murder on the Orient Express, Death on the Nile, and the genre-defining And Then There Were None. She is also the world's most successful female playwright, and The Mousetrap is the longest-running play in history.
