Directors Notes
It is strange that 22 years have passed since ‘Something’s Afoot’ the spoof version of ‘And Then There Were None’; that was a hilarious send up. Strange too that there has not been an Agatha Christie play presented by BLT, (in 1954 she had three in the West End concurrently) but better late than never. As with any adaptation, especially in crime fiction, there must be an element of suspension of disbelief, never mind just suspense. The team have had fun and not a few laughs whilst working on the suspension, or is it suspicion?
