The Agatha Christie Caper

There are several ways to become a member of the Delicious Death Society. One of them is to have attended every single production of a play written by Agatha Christie (not plays adapted by others from Agatha Christie's works.) 1. And Then There Were None (1943) 2. Appointment With Death (1945) 3. Black Coffee (1930) 4. Chimneys (written in 1931, not produced until 2003) 5. Fiddler's Three (1972) 6. The Hollow (1951) 7. The Mousetrap (1952) 8. Murder on the Nile (1944) 9. Spider's Web (1954) 10. Towards Zero (1956) 11. The Unexpected Guest (1958) 12. Verdict (1958) 13. Witness For the Prosecution (1953) If you're a completionist, you'll also want to see every play adapted from an Agatha Christie play by others: 1936 Love from a Stranger (dramatised by Frank Vosper from the short story Philomel Cottage) 1939 Tea for Three (dramatised by Margery Vosper from the short story Accident) 1940 Peril at End House (dramatised by Arnold Ridley) 1949 Murder at the Vicarage (dramatised by Moie Charles and Barbara Toy) 1956 Towards Zero (dramatised by Gerald Verner) 1977 A Murder is Announced (dramatised by Leslie Darbon) 1981 Cards on the Table (dramatised by Leslie Darbon) 1993 Murder Is Easy (dramatised by Clive Exton) 2005 And Then There Were None (dramatised by Kevin Elyot from the novel And Then There Were None) 2012 The Mysterious Affair at Styles (dramatised by David Hansen from the novel The Mysterious Affair at Styles)
