And Then There Were None

And Then There Were None is a play based on the tale by Agatha Christie where 10 guests are invited to stay on an island.

Each guest has a framed copy of the Nursery Rhyme ‘Ten Little Soldier Boy’s’ on the wall in their room and gradually the rhyme chillingly becomes true as each guest in turn is murdered.

The guests realise that they have been tricked in coming to the island and their means of escape cut off when the supplies boat fails to turn up.

Characters include, Mr and Mrs Rogers, Dr Armstrong, Vera, Anthony Marston, Blore, Lombard and Wargrave.

Costumes required for this play which is set in the 1930’s and has mostly male actors, include smart dinner jackets and lounge suits, wing collar shirts and bow ties which are suitable formal wear for wealthy gents of this period.
