Revenge, love, and murder all play a role in these Three one act plays by Agatha Christie.
In "The Rats", adulterous lovers, Sandra and David are called to the Torrances' flat for evening drinks. However no one is home. What first appears to be a simple mix up of dates turns to something far more sinister when they discover that they are locked in.
"Butter in a Lordly Dish" is one of Agatha Christie’s least known plays. The Times called it "one of Agatha Christie’s most gruesome murder plots. The title comes from the Bible, at Judges, 5:25 the meeting of Jael and Sisera – "He asked water, and she gave him milk; she brought forth butter in a lordly dish".
"The Patient", a tense thriller in which a woman has been hospitalized after seemingly falling from her balcony. Unable to communicate, it could have been an accident, attempted suicide or worse still a cold-blooded killer bent on murder. As relatives gather round her hospital bed the tension builds as an ingenious device helps Mrs. Wingfield convey a message that could solve the mystery.
Don't miss these Three unique and rarely performed one act plays from the Queen of Crime.
