 Ten strangers, with nothing in common, are lured to an island off the British coast by a mysterious U.N. Owen. Once all are assembled, a voice from a gramophone accuses each of hiding a terrible secret. Are these people really murders? When one of the guests turns up dead, the scramble to stay alive begins as all are stranded on the island by a storm without power and telephone.

 The poem “Ten Little Indians” is displayed on the mantel above the fireplace that features ten small Indian statues. With the murder of each guest (done in a suitable fashion to the crime they’re accused of), one of the statues is found broken near the body. One by one, the guests are killed as they accuse each other while striving to solve the mystery once they realize that the killer is one of them. The tension mount as they eye each other and make divided alliances as a survival mechanism. We have enough clues but Christie is so clever and the staging is so excellently performed that we are on the edge of our seats in anticipation of what will happen next.

 These strong characters unfold their foibles, fears and follies that contribute to the confusion as the mystery unfolds. We are given enough clues if we listen closely. The clever twists add to the dramatic power of the play. This excellent work will keep you guessing with some funny moments thrown in as it swiftly engages us as amateur detectives. This is a smart, flawless production that offers fine entertainment. You’ll enjoy the hunt for the killer.

 Ten little Indians went out to dine; One choked his little self and then there were Nine.
Nine little Indians sat up very late; One overslept himself and then there were Eight.
Eight little Indians traveling in Devon; One said he'd stay there and then there were Seven.
Seven little Indians chopping up sticks; One chopped his own self in halves and then there were Six.
Six little Indians playing with a hive; A bumblebee stung one and then there were Five.
Five little Indians going in for law; One got into Chancery and then there were Four.
Four little Indians going out to sea; A red herring swallowed one and then there were Three.
Three little Indians walking in the Zoo; A big bear hugged one and then there were Two.
Two little Indians sitting in the sun; One got frizzled up and then there was One.
One little Indian left all alone; He went out and hanged himself and then there were none.
