AND Then There Were None ... by super sleuth author Agatha Christie, is the latest offering by the talented Ulverston Outsiders.

Ten strangers are invited to Soldier Island. Upon arrival, the guests are met by the mysterious butler and housekeeper, with assurances that the hosts will be arriving the next day.

That evening, a seemingly disembodied voice accuses each of the ten strangers of a specific murder. Shortly afterwards, one guest chokes to death in front of everyone. Was it an accident? Or something more sinister? Either way, it’s just the first death of many with the survivors realise that each death is being orchestrated to match a mysterious rhyme that is framed above the mantelpiece. Playing from Wednesday to May 11 at the Coronation Hall, Ulverston.
