Hercule Poirot investigates a murder at a country estate in this stage adaptation of Agatha Christie's Poirot mystery, directed by Lucy Bailey.
Agatha Christie's The Hollow comes to Milton Keynes Theatre from 19 to 23 January 2027, part of a UK tour that opens in Canterbury. It's a Hercule Poirot mystery, and if you've followed the recent run of Poirot plays touring the UK, this is the next one to arrive in the city.
The story starts with a garden party at the country estate of Lucy and Henry Angkatell, which takes a turn for the worse when a body is found poolside. From there, Poirot is called in to sort out who's lying and who's telling the truth. It's one of Christie's more unusual stories, and this production is a new stage adaptation by Tamsin Oglesby.
Behind the scenes, it's a familiar pairing. Director Lucy Bailey is back working with producer Fiery Angel, the same team that did the West End hit Witness for the Prosecution. Bailey has a real history with Christie, having staged five of her adaptations, including Murder on the Orient Express and Titus Andronicus. They've partnered with Agatha Christie Limited and the Marlowe Theatre Canterbury to bring this version to the road.
