The actor playing Hercule Poirot was very good, but was not matched by most of the other actors, who slipped in and out of not-very-convicing British accents. This production was slow (ended at 10:30!!) and it was very difficult to hear the actors. This was not helped by the rain on the roof of the theater (which must be made of tin) which drowned out what dialogue HAD been audible. The layout of the theater is very strange, with tables like a dinner theatre all on one level, so sitting in the back makes it hard to see the stage. My husband and I had to share an intimate table with two strangers, which felt odd. Also both time I have attended shows here there was a very loud wedding taking place across the hall (the theater is in a community center) which is very distracting during performances. All in all, I would avoid this theater. I can only give the event even the two stars I have because of the performance of the actor playing the starring role. I'f you love Agatha Christie, it might be worth seeing this play just for him--just make sure there is no hailstorm or you won't hear a thing.Written on Mar 17 2008

The play it self was fine. Me and a couple were to sit on table 19 all the way in the back, I couldn't be because I had purchased the tickets late as I bought it in advance online. I am thinking it is because of the discounted tickets as the couple on my table had also purchased their tickets through Goldstar. There were lot of noise comming from the wedding from the ballroom accross from us. As I said the play itself was fine.Written on Mar 17 2008

The theatre is a small set up which makes it fairly comfortable for viewing and listening.Written on Mar 18 2008
This performance was not high caliber but the actors warmed up as they went along and clearly enjoyed themselves as well as represented their character well...especially Hercule Poirrot. Mr Gardner clearly had studied Agatha Christi's hero and gave a fun and engaging replication of many of Hercule's affectations.
Know that this is community theatre and enjoy it for what it is.
My date and I had a good time.
