Death on the Nile reunites writer Ken Ludwig, director Lucy Bailey and producers Fiery Angel for the European premiere of a new adaptation of the globally celebrated Agatha Christie story.

On board a luxurious cruise under the heat of the Egyptian sun, a couple’s idyllic honeymoon is cut short by a brutal murder. As secrets that have been buried in the sands of time finally resurface, can the world-famous detective, Hercule Poirot, untangle the web of lies and solve another crime?

Death on the Nile is designed by Mike Britton, with lighting by Oliver Fenwick, sound by Mic Pool, movement direction by Liam Steele, and casting by Helena Palmer.
