Renowned detective Hercule Poirot expected a quiet break in the country; instead he’s drawn into one of the most unsettling cases of his career.
At THE HOLLOW, an elegant country estate, a glamorous circle of guests gather together one summer evening. But beneath the sunlit charm, something darker coils. Old passions refuse to die. New rivalries ignite. Dangerous infatuations take hold. Then — a shot rings out.
A body is discovered. A smoking revolver in an unsteady hand. The scene appears almost staged; a shockingly straightforward crime…. It is anything but.
THE HOLLOW is directed by Lucy Bailey, with set & costume design by Joanna Parker, lighting design by Chris Davey, sound design & composition by Nick Powell and casting by Ginny Schiller. Produced by Fiery Angel in association with Agatha Christie Limited and the Marlowe Theatre, Canterbury.
