Behind The Glamour Lies a Deadly Secret
Miss Marple, Agatha Christie's iconic sleuth, takes center stage in this gripping, glamorous mystery.

Can you solve who is behind it all?
The run time is 2 hours and 15 minutes, including one intermission.
In this new adaptation of the Christie's whodunit, audiences can expect a murder, depictions of violence, language, and mentions of self-harm. Haze will be used during the performance.

Agatha Christie Born in Torquay, England in 1890, Agatha Christie is the best-selling novelist of all time. With over one billion books sold in English and another billion in over 100 languages, she is outsold only by the Bible and Shakespeare. She wrote 80 crime novels and collections of short stories, over 25 plays (including The Mousetrap, the world’s longest running play), and six novels under the pseudonym Mary Westmacott. Her first novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, introduced the world to the Belgian detective Hercule Poirot, followed a decade later by the shrewd and often-underestimated Miss Marple.
