HALLOWELL — Agatha Christie’s “Black Coffee” is the Gaslight Theater’s next production.
Originally produced in 1930, the play was Christie’s first piece written specifically for the stage. It features Hercule Poirot, one of Christie’s most beloved characters.
The story involves the development of a formula for an atom bomb by a British inventor, who has sent for Poirot to help him with its protection. Unfortunately, Poirot arrives just a few minutes too late and discovers that the inventor is dead and the formula is missing. It is now up to Poirot and his trusted sidekick, Captain Hastings, to solve the case.
Bob Gilbert is director, Linda Duarte is assistant director.
