This little known mystery will surprise and delight Christie fans. The story concerns a physicist named Sir Claude Amory who has come up with a formula for an atom bomb (even though Black Coffee was written in 1934). In the first act, Sir Claude is poisoned (in his coffee, naturally) and Hercule Poirot is called in to solve the case. He does so after many wonderful twists and turns in true Christie tradition.
 
The murder mystery is the most popular tradition of the season for Coach House audiences. Come be a part of it!
 
Rehearsals generally scheduled Sunday through Thursday evenings, 7-10 pm.
