And Then There Were None

Ten strangers are trapped on an island off the coast of Devon. One by one they are accused of murder; one by one they start to die. Throughout this mystery comedy, statuettes of little soldier boys on the mantel disappear one by one as those in the house succumb to a diabolical avenger. A nursery rhyme tells how each of the ten “soldiers” meets his death until there were none. Eight guests who have never met each other or their host and hostess are lured to and marooned on Soldier Island. A mysterious voice accuses each of having gotten away with murder. And Then There Were None was previously titled and performed as Ten Little Indians and Dame Agatha Christie considered it her “best piece of craftsmanship.”
