Beginning June, 2011 Alley Theatre will produce Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None during its popular ExxonMobil Summer Chills series. Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None is the Alley Theatre's 20th production of an Agatha Christie play in its 64 year history. The perfect summer outing for Houstonians seeking a cool respite from the summer heat, ExxonMobil Summer Chills is a great way to introduce live theatre to first-timers, giving them an opportunity to thrill in suspenseful moments and unexpected revelations.

Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None is directed by Gregory Boyd and begins performances Wednesday, June 29, opens officially Friday, July 1 and runs through Sunday, July 31 on the Hubbard Stage.

When ten houseguests gather on a secluded island, the situation is ripe for misfortune. One by one, each guest meets their fate. Who's the murderous culprit? And who's been stealing the carved Soldier Island figurines from the mantle? Mystery's most famous Dame asks these baffling questions and more in this classic whodunit. Recommended for general audiences.

Dame Agatha Christie, the most famous creator of murder mysteries, was born in 1890 and worked as a hospital dispenser during the First World War. Her first detective novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles (1920), introduced Hercule Poirot, the Belgian hero who was to appear in many subsequent novels and plays. Over the next 56 years, Christie wrote 66 novels and more than a dozen plays, including Murder on the Orient Express, The Mousetrap, The Unexpected Guest, Black Coffee, And Then There Were None, and the Miss Marple mysteries - which served as the basis for the films Murder, She Said and Murder at the Gallop and the inspiration for many television programs. The Alley has produced many of Christie's plays, among them Death on the Nile, Witness for the Prosecution, The Mousetrap, Black Coffee, Spider's Web and Towards Zero.

Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None is sponsored by Presenting Sponsor ExxonMobil. The Alley Theatre is supported by the 2011-2012 season sponsor United Airlines, the official airline of the Alley Theatre.
