From the producers of the hugely successful Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap comes a brand-new production of Agatha Christie’s best-selling crime novel of all time, And Then There Were None, opening at Melbourne’s Comedy Theatre in February 2025.
Ten people are lured to a solitary mansion on an island off the English coast, when a storm cuts them off from the mainland. The true reason for their presence on the island soon becomes horribly clear.
First adapted for the stage in 1943, this new production directed by Australian theatrical icon Robyn Nevin (The Mousetrap) is a gorgeously grim thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
“And Then There Were None marks the return of the great Agatha Christie to the stage. So naturally, following the huge success of The Mousetrap which she directed, I wanted to reunite acclaimed theatre director Robyn Nevin with one of the greatest, edge-of-your-seat thrillers Agatha Christie ever wrote,” explained Producer John Frost.
“The Mousetrap was a joy to direct: complex characters, each carrying a secret. One was murdered, one was the killer. That is a mystery. This is a thriller. Christie at her finest. It’s a triumph of plotting and suspense. I’m thrilled to be directing this thriller,” said Director Robyn Nevin.
Robyn Nevin AO is one of the most prominent and prolific artistic figures Australia has produced. As a director, she has run two state theatre companies and directed Cate Blanchett in Hedda Gabler which toured to New York in 2006. As an actress, Robyn has played leading roles for all of Australia’s major theatre companies since the early sixties, appearing also in London’s West End and in the US, including Carnegie Hall in New York.
With over 100 million copies sold, And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie has been translated into multiple languages and adapted for film and television many times and is the best-selling crime novel of all time. In 2015 And Then There Were None was voted the World’s Favourite Agatha Christie story in a global vote which saw fans from over 100 countries vote.
