Towards Zero
By Agatha Christie
Directed by Larry Simmons
Produced by Maureen Rogers
Produced by special arrangement with Concord
THE STORY: When a house party gathers at Gull’s Point, the seaside home of Lady Tressilian, Neville Strange finds himself caught between his old wife Audrey and his new flame Kay. A nail-biting thriller, the play probes the psychology of jealousy in the shadow of a savage and brutal murder. A carefully unpeeled investigation before our eyes brings the story to a pointed ending.
