The stage version of Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None will end its run at the Gielgud Theatre in the West End on January 14.
And Then There Were None centers on 10 strangers who are invited to an Indian island by the mysterious figure. The host accuses all his guests of murder; but then one by one they begin to die. Graham Crowden, Tara Fitzgerald, Richard Johnson and Gemma Jones star.
The production, directed by Steven Pimlott, opened to mixed to positive reviews on October 25. Variety's Matt Wolf wrote of the play: "The audience doesn't know whether to laugh with or at And Then There Were None, Kevin Elyot's intriguing if only intermittently successful attempt to make Agatha Christie palatable for the 21st century. Given over more to camp than to genuine cries of alarm, Steven Pimlott's production shifts tone almost as many times as Mark Thompson's overpowering near-mausoleum of a set changes locations. Play is easier going than The Mousetrap, to be sure, and benefits from a surprisingly affecting turn from Tara Fitzgerald in the femme lead. But those expecting an Inspector Calls-style overhaul of Dame Agatha may be chagrined to find more of the same, with only the sex and violence turned up a notch or two."
