current PRODUCTION

We're delighted to tell you that our Threepenny Theatricals 2020 production is 'The Hollow' by the genius of murder-mystery herself - Agatha Christie.  Look below to find out more about the story, our production and our wonderful cast and crew.

'the hollow' by Agatha christie

An unhappy game of romantic follow-the-leader explodes into murder one weekend at ‘The Hollow’, home of Sir Henry and Lucy Angkatell.

Dr. Cristow, the Harley Street lothario is at the centre of the trouble when, assembled in one place, we find his dull but devoted wife Gerda, his mistress and prominent sculptor Henrietta and his former lover and Hollywood film star Veronica. Also visiting are Edward (who is in love with Henrietta), and Midge (who loves Edward). Veronica ardently desires to marry Cristow and succeeds in reopening their affair but is unable to get him to divorce his wife. In true WhoDunnit fashion, there is a murder!

Nearly everyone has a motive and most had the opportunity. Enter Inspector Colquhoun and Sergeant Penny to solve the crime.
