And Then There Were None
Experience the best-selling crime novel of all time on the stage in Australia in 2025
And Then There Were None Tour Cast Announced
From the producers of the hugely successful Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap comes a brand-new production of Agatha Christie’s best-selling crime novel of all time, And Then There Were None, opening at Melbourne’s Comedy Theatre in February 2025 and Sydney Theatre Royal from May 2025.
The cast features Jack Bannister as Anthony Marston, Brendan Ewing as Rogers, Jennifer Flowers as Emily Brent, Nicholas Hammond as General Mackenzie, Christen O’Leary as Mrs. Rogers, Chris Parker as Fred Narracott and Anthony Phelan as Sir Lawrence Wargrave. Further casting announcements will be made in the coming weeks.
Ten people are lured to a solitary mansion on an island off the English coast, when a storm cuts them off from the mainland. The true reason for their presence on the island soon becomes horribly clear.
First adapted for the stage in 1943, this new production directed by Australian theatrical icon Robyn Nevin (The Mousetrap) is a gorgeously grim thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
And Then There Were None marks the return of the great Agatha Christie to the stage. So naturally, following the huge success of The Mousetrap which she directed, I wanted to reunite acclaimed theatre Director Robyn Nevin with one of the greatest, edge-of-your-seat thrillers Agatha Christie ever wrote.
The Mousetrap was a joy to direct: complex characters, each carrying a secret. One was murdered, one was the killer. That is a mystery. This is a thriller. Christie at her finest. It’s a triumph of plotting and suspense. I’m thrilled to be directing this thriller.
