Murder After Hours

Lonny Chapman Group Repertory Theatre
10900 Burbank Blvd. North Hollywood

Part Downton Abbey, part Noel Coward, this is Agatha Christie at her champagne-escapist-mysterious best. A weekend in the country leads to long-hidden love revealed, a lover's triangle exposed, movie star confessions and - of course - deadly deeds. An impatient, cantankerous Scotland Yard Inspector puts a wonderful froth to the investigation and wild-mouse-ride of unravelings.

Stage Scene LA - Highly Recommended

"...Agatha Christie is at her fiendishly clever best in the very long but very entertaining Murder After Hours (The Hollow), now being revived to deliciously brain-teasing effect at North Hollywood’s the Group Rep."

Stage Raw - Highly Recommended

"...Under Jules Aaron’s seamlessly polished direction, the current offering sparkles as it rolls along at a brisk pace. The production definitively displays many of the signature characteristics of Christie’s writing. It deals with the British upper-middle class; it is a whodunit with several possible suspects; and it is one of Christie’s “lighthearted thrillers,” as she has described her writings, with a good many comedic lines. It also includes very believable characters, and there is a simplicity to the action and the very conversational dialogue. Although this particular scenario may not be as tightly suspenseful as, for example, Christie’s Witness for the Prosecution, it has a very effective, unexpected ending."

Larchmont Buzz - Highly Recommended

"...Christie’s Murder After Hours (The Hollow) shows off the writer at her peak, even if the play removes the treasured Poirot from the story. It doesn’t need this detective though, and in fact, is all the more interesting itself when the inspectors are off-stage. Each potential murderer and their ongoing lies and relationships are pure melodramatic gold, with just a touch of tongue-in-cheek acknowledgment of a bygone era."

Glamgical - Highly Recommended

"...Agatha Christie‘s adaptation of Murder After Hours (The Hollow) is mostly a psychological thriller with instances of physical comedy. The exposition builds up the dynamic relationships and the suspense starts to take over at the end of Act One. The time is 1951 in the garden room of Sir Henry Angkatell’s house, The Hollow, near London."

Broadway World - Highly Recommended

"...Director Jules Aaron gets fantastic, nuanced performances from all of the players, each making their character their own no matter how small the role. Meghan Lewis as Henry's headstrong cousin Henrietta is a standout, a cross between Katharine Hepburn and Keira Knightley at their best."
