About this Event

While visiting an old friend in Norfolk, Hercule Poirot’s famous “little grey cells” are called into action to unravel a most perplexing case of M**der.

A blackmail plot, a renowned judge, and a dose of deadly poison all seem impossible to connect…but can Belgium’s finest detective identify the culprit, and the source of the poison, before the killer strikes again?

Step into a world inspired by Agatha Christie, the undisputed Queen of Crime, whose ingenious mysteries and unforgettable characters have captivated audiences for more than a century.

At the centre of this intrigue stands her most meticulous creation, Hercule Poirot, the fastidious Belgian sleuth whose razor-sharp intellect, immaculate moustache, and obsession with order have solved some of literature’s most baffling crimes.

Join Dreamstone Productions at The Assembly House for an evening of immersive theatre, dinner, and deduction set in the golden age of mystery.
