Agatha Christie's Towards Zero

Calling all Agatha Christie enthusiasts! Don’t miss an unforgettable adaptation of one of Christie’s most captivating murder mysteries: Towards Zero. This thrilling production, brought to you by Bijou Theatre Productions, is part of their esteemed annual Agatha Christie run, a tradition that has delighted audiences since 1984. Towards Zero is a mesmerizing journey into the human psyche. This production feels like opening a long-locked door. The intrigue begins not with a murder, but with the intricate web of choices, grudges, and tensions that simmer beneath the surface. Expect a gripping examination of jealousy and the subtle dynamics at play, as the story unfolds in an atmosphere charged with suspense. The Plot Unfolds. Set against the stunning backdrop of Gull’s Point, the seaside residence of Lady Tressilian, the story invites you into a house party where Neville Strange finds himself torn between his ex-wife, Audrey, and his new love, Kay. As tensions rise, the stage is set for a chilling exploration of human emotions that leads to a shocking and brutal murder. Originally adapted for the stage by Gerald Verner, Towards Zero first premiered at the St. James’s Theatre in London in 1956.

More about Dainton

Devon, England

Dainton is a quiet corner of Devon where the local noticeboard seems to know more about weekend plans than anyone does. With no big venues on the doorsteps, we rely on word of mouth and village halls popping up with ideas you couldn't have predicted yesterday. It's the sort of place where a sudden shower doesn't stop the fun, just changes the venue from the park bench to someone's garden party. We keep an eye on what's brewing nearby so you don't have to waste time hunting for things to do in the rain.
