In July and August, local theater troupe San Leandro Players will present “The Hollow” by Agatha Christie, directed by Amy Cook.
An unhappy game of romantic follow-the-leader explodes into murder one weekend at The Hollow, home of Sir Henry and Lucy Angkatell, arguably Christie’s finest comic grande dame. Dr. Cristow, the Harley Street lothario, is at the center of the trouble when he finds assembled in one place his dull but devoted wife Gerda, his mistress and prominent sculptor Henrietta and his former lover and Hollywood film star Veronica.
Also visiting are Edward and Midge, whose romantic assertions are likewise thrown into the mix. As the list of romantic associations grows, so does the list of potential suspects when one guest is shot dead. Nearly everyone has a motive, but only one did the deed. The play provides a humorous romp for an inspector trying desperately to solve the murder among the eccentrics at the English country house.
The play features Miranda Bumstead, Sarah Chan, John Chapin, Ron Cook, Scott Dai, Mark DeWeese, Dana Fry, Terry Guillory, Larissa Kasia, Jessi Lee and Linda Scaparotti.
Produced by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. concordtheatrical.com. Masking is recommended.
