I’m so excited that for the 30th anniversary of Alley Theatre’s Summer Chills series, we are returning to one of Agatha Christie’s best-loved plays: And Then There Were None.

To celebrate 30 years of Summer Chills, we chatted with the Resident Acting Company performing in AND THEN THERE WERE NONE about what this Houston and Alley staple means to them. Here's what they had to say!

What better way to kick off our subscription season than welcoming Michelle Elaine, the newest member of our Resident Acting Company?

We spoke with Eric Brown, the Alley Prop Shop Supervisor, about making the toy soldiers and other props for AND THEN THERE WERE NONE. Central to the mystery of this Agatha Christie classic, the toy soldiers greatly contribute to the thrill of Summer Chills! Here's what Eric had to say.

Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None is the highest-selling crime novel of all time, with over 100 million copies sold since it was published in 1939. (In fact, It’s one of the ten highest-selling novels ever). Its publication cemented Agatha Christie’s spot as one of the world’s most successful novelists. Nevertheless, And Then There Were None deviates from Christie’s iconic formula: the central detective character is absent.

I had written this book because it was so difficult to do, and that idea fascinated me. Ten people had to die without it becoming ridiculous or the murderer being obvious.

Agatha Christie's iconic whodunit, And Then There Were None, throws ten strangers onto the desolate Soldier Island. This isolated location isn't just a picturesque backdrop. It's a chosen element that fuels the suspense and drives the narrative.
