I'll travel anywhere!

I am such an avid Agatha Christie fan! I scour the whole state of Texas looking for a theatre that has her name on the billboards! So far I have been entertained by 5 of her performances, the most current (and past week) was And Then There Were None, which by far exceeded my expectations of the super sleuth of all time! I current;y hold a rare edition of her writings 63 so far, and I am looking to complete the set. So sleuthing through the bookstores is my folly! Question to post. How does one get a list of her plays? How can one find where they are performing?

Most are in Collections like Murder For The Prosecution and Other Plays and The Mousetrap and Other Plays but Cards On The Table wasn't made a play until the 80s but it is available just type the name and Play in Google and you will come to it.I would do the same if I could.

Who wouldn't, money and time allowing! But both of these are in rare supply for me so I actually get to the theatre about once a year. And I've never been lucky enough to see any Christie plays, so I envy you both, onesoaringspirit and Tommy!

Does anyone know of any productions in England this year? And how can I find out where and when any will be on? Up until now, I've only heard of productions when it has been too late to arrange to get to one but if I had advance warning I might be able to finally sort something out. Tommy, you live in the same area of England as I do, where do you get your info? Direct from theatres?

Phone Theatres near you and get yourself on the Mailing list or look at Teletext or find out about what is on at theatres not near you, if they are touring they might come to your local Theatre.

I'll try that. Should have thought of it myself, but thanks for the hint!! If you do hear of any doing the rounds, will you let me know? I will be forever in your debt!

Hope it Works, tell me how you get on.

I will!

I made a mistake about the names of the \Books of plays, They Are;

Witness For The Prosecution And Other Plays

Appointment With Death And Other Plays

The MouseTrap.
