‘Where Is Mrs Christie?’ starring Liz Grand

Agatha Christie was one of the greatest thriller writers of all time and certainly the most prolific. In 1926, she was at the centre of a mystery as perplexing as any of her fiction, a series of events which sparked one of the biggest and most extensive police hunts in history. Her crashed car was discovered in Surrey and the famous author was missing, presumed dead by many, for eleven days. However, she was eventually found at a luxury hotel in Harrogate. She claimed then, and for the rest of the life, that she was suffering from amnesia and remembered nothing. Neither the press nor the police believed her. 

Actor Liz Grand presents her one-woman show ‘Where Is Mrs Christie?’ Did Agatha lie? Did she suffer from amnesia? Was it a publicity stunt? Or was there a darker secret involved?  In true thriller style, all will be revealed.

PLEASE NOTE POST-SHOW LIZ GRANDE WILL REAPPEAR ON STAGE TO FOLLOW UP WITH A Q&A SESSION.

Prepare for an evening of suspense and intrigue as 'Don’t Go Into The Cellar' Theatre Company presents Jonathan Goodwin’s captivating performance of The 39 Steps. An award-winning actor, Goodwin writes and stars in this stage adaptation of John Buchan’s thrilling, classic Edwardian spy tale, famously brought to the screen in 1935 by Alfred Hitchcock.
