Renowned detective Hercule Poirot expected a quiet break in the country; instead he's drawn into one of the most unsettling cases of his career. At The Hollow, an elegant country estate, a glamorous circle of guests gather together one summer evening. But beneath the sunlit charm, something darker coils. Old passions refuse to die. New rivalries ignite. Dangerous infatuations take hold. Then, a shot rings out. A body is discovered. A smoking revolver in an unsteady hand. The scene appears almost staged; a shockingly straightforward crime… it is anything but. Starring Peter Polycarpou (Birds of a Feather; Evita; The Brutalist) as the ever-meticulous Belgian sleuth, The Hollow reunites Fiery Angel with director Lucy Bailey following the sell-out tours of Murder on the Orient Express and Death on the Nile. Joining Peter Polycarpou are Luke Allen-Gale as John Cristow/Inspector Colquhoun, Victoria Blunt as Henrietta Angkatell, James Clyde as Gudgeon, Grace Darling as Midge, Kemi-Bo Jacobs as Veronica Craye, Sarah Moyle as Lady Lucy Angkatell, Noella Naibaho as Doris, Michael Praed as Sir Henry Angkatell, James Sheldon as Edward Angkatell and Tilly Steele as Gerda Cristow. Also in the cast is Paula Hines. Don’t miss this darkly seductive new staging of one of Agatha Christie’s most compelling mysteries in Cardiff this autumn.
