This theatre play is a typical Agatha Christie. Seven people and a detective trapped in a manor house due to the snow. A death that occurred in London, another death at the manor house. Everybody could be involved. And added to this a lovely British humour. This play is the world’s longest-running play, which has been performed in the\u00a0West End\u00a0of London since 1952, with more than 30’000 representations. A nice moment of reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MOLLIE. Oh, don\u2019t be absurd.

There\u2019s something very boorish about English husbands.”<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
