The Hollow

If you are looking for plans for early next year, the Theatre Royal Brighton has announced that it will be hosting a production of Agatha Christie’s The Hollow from February 2nd to February 6th, 2027. This play is a classic country house murder mystery, a genre that Christie is well-known for. The story centres on a group of glamorous guests who gather at an estate, only for the evening to be interrupted by a murder. Hercule Poirot is the detective tasked with solving the case, which is a central element of the plot.

This specific production is brought to the stage by Fiery Angel, in association with Agatha Christie Limited and the Marlowe Theatre Canterbury. It is part of a wider tour across the UK and Ireland. The director, Lucy Bailey, has worked on Christie’s plays before and has described this particular production as a portrait of a family clinging to a world that is fading, caught between nostalgia and the unsettling pull of the future. It is a perspective that might be interesting for those who enjoy seeing how these established stories are interpreted on stage.

Regarding the practical side of things, tickets for the run at the Theatre Royal Brighton start from £17. Since it is a theatre production, it is aimed at a general audience interested in mystery dramas and adaptations of Christie’s work. There are no specific age restrictions mentioned, though it is always worth checking the official booking pages if you are planning to attend with younger viewers or have specific accessibility questions. It is a straightforward opportunity to see a well-known mystery play in a local venue, and the dates are set for the first week of February.
