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 Torwood

Devon, England

Torwood sits quietly in Devon with a view that makes you forget to check your phone for ages. The Torquay Museum has been keeping locals informed since before smartphones were invented, and there's usually a craft stall somewhere nearby if you fancy something handmade. Not bad for a seaside spot that doesn't need shouting about its charms. Pub quizzes pop up through the week and the odd open mic night keeps things interesting for those who prefer live sound to digital noise. Near Here pulls it all into one place so you're not stuck checking a dozen websites on a Sunday evening.
