Murder on the Nile - Detour Theatre
As the paddle steamer Lotus sets sail on a cruise along the Nile, its motley collection of passengers are looking forward to seeing the stirring sights of Egypt.
But they have a lot more than pyramids to occupy their minds when wealthy celebrity heiress Kay Ridgeway-Mostyn (Rianne Bidois) is found murdered in her cabin. Nor will hers be the only shocking death on the fateful trip.
Detour's latest production comes straight from the pen of that queen of crime Agatha Christie and it is as gripping a whodunit as any of her other classic thrillers.
The first-rate cast have made the drama their own and clearly relish their parts in a show that had Wednesday's opening night on the edge of their seats until the last line of dialogue.
