Agatha Christie’s Black Coffee – Free Theatre in the Park

Culver City Public Theatre is proud to present it’s 27th season of free theatre in Paul Carlson Park.

Black Coffee is Agatha Christie’s first original play, first performed in 1930, featuring Hercule Poirot investigating the murder of physicist Sir Claude Amory, who was poisoned after his secret atomic bomb formula was stolen from his library. Both thrilling and hilarious, the story involves a classic whodunit with a locked-room mystery, red herrings, and a cast of suspicious houseguests, culminating in Poirot’s dramatic reveal of the killer and the formula’s location. Culver City Public Theatre’s new production will feature the first female Hercule Poirot.

The show runs four weekends (Saturdays and Sundays at 2:30 p.m.) starting July 11 and through Aug. 2. It is free to the public.
