Who is in the frame for
the murder of Amyas Crale?
Go
Back for Murder
by
Agatha Christie
Newcastle
People’s Theatre
Tuesday
16th to Saturday 20th January 2018
All
the tinsel from their latest record-breaking Panto has been swept up and they
start the New Year with our traditional January winter warmer, Agatha Christie’s
whodunit Go Back for Murder.
“Take
what you want, but pay for it.”
 |
| Caroline Crale (Riona McArdle) |
Carla
le Marchant wants to know who killed her philandering artist father Amyas Crale.
 |
| Meredith Blake (Andy Aiken) |
Her
mother went down for poisoning him and died in prison, but a letter she left
for Carla swears her innocence. Enlisting the help of young solicitor Justin
Fogg, Carla reassembles the suspects at her childhood home on the South Coast,
determined to find out what really happened.
 |
| Philip Blake (Gordon Mounsey) |
In an
unusual departure from her traditional murder mysteries, Christie’s uses
flashbacks to slip seamlessly between the present of 1952 to the past of 1936,
examining the danger of relying on personal testimony warped by time, prejudice,
and perception. The inconsistencies between each suspect’s testimony reveal a disturbing
and terrible truth.
“It’s
there, you know – in the eyes…”
 |
| Elsa Greer (Helen Coverdale) |
Adapted
by Christie herself from her Hercule Poirot novel Five Little Pigs, the Queen of Crime cut the Belgian detective from
the theatrical version, preferring to open up the possibility of romance by
introducing Fogg, the charming young lawyer and amateur sleuth, into the mix.
The result is a classic whodunnit, with all of the ingredients skilfully blended
together to create the perfect mystery.
 |
| Angela Warren (Catherine Ellis) |
Following
in the footsteps of Murder on the Nile
(2016) and The Unexpected Guest
(2017), their annual January thriller has become an unmissable and much-loved
feature of our calendar.
 |
| Miss Williams (Karen Elliot) |
This
must-see show is full of surprises, and director Phil Bradley says it has “more
red herrings than North Shields fish quay”! It’s already selling well, so book
early to bag your favourite seat!
