A new play from the Theatre Kelowna Society invites audiences to dive into a world of espionage and intrigue with a touch of murder.

Black Coffee by Agatha Christie sports a cast of theatre veterans and some new faces to Theatre Kelowna.

Graham Daley takes on the role of Christieѻýs signature detective as Hercule Poirot in this classic whodunit.

ѻýThe conviction of the characters drives the plot of the story. This show gives opportunity to really see what these people are made of in their world,ѻý said Tate Adrian, director.

The show takes place in 1929 and centres on a significant discovery that renowned scientist Sir Claude Amory wants to keep out of the hands of Englandѻýs enemies. Can he get his secret formula to the British Officials before his beans are roasted? Can the newlyweds Richard and Lucia stand the strain on their relationship as theyѻýre confronted with a host of envy, lies and strange visitors in a time of dread? Itѻýs a superbly crafted whodunit with endless red herrings, subplots of infamous spies and an astonishingly prophetic story line about weapons created through ѻýbombarding the atomѻý. One of Christieѻýs most gripping country house murder mysteries.

ѻýThe truth is never horrible, only interesting,ѻý said Agatha Christie.

Tickets are available at The play will run April 17 to 18 at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.
