A Murder is Announced

West Valley Playhouse

Gossip, blackmail, deception and betrayal unsettle the peaceful English village of King’s Abbot. After a pair of mysterious deaths — including one from inside a locked room – the famous detective Hercule Poirot is pulled out of retirement to solve the case. Despite his desire to relax and grow vegetable marrows, the ingenious sleuth is compelled to snoop around this quaint hamlet and its surrounding countryside. Will this sleepy 1930s village ever feel quite so cozy again? Will Poirot be able to unravel the knots of this mystery? It’s a mystery!


Book-It and local playwright Danielle Mohlman (author of Nexus and a renowned theatrical adaptation of Frankenstein) are crafting this brand-new script based on one of Dame Agatha Christie’s most innovative, clever, and mind-bending mysteries. The original book has been lauded as the best crime novel of all time by the Crime Writers’ Association.

The Murder of Roger Ackroyd

An advertisement in the Chipping Cleghorn Gazette announces the time and place for a murder – and a roomful of locals witness the death of an unknown man. This classic puzzle from the Queen of Crime is set in a 1950s village, where no one is quite what they seem, and every clue leads up another blind alley. Fortunately, amateur sleuth Miss Marple is on hand to unravel the mystery and unmask the guilty.
