Agatha Christie’s Verdict

Written by Agatha Christie

Directed by Virginia Olivieri

Karl Hendryk, a brilliant professor who, with his wife and her cousin, have fled persecution in their homeland to find themselves ensconced in London. His wife, Anya, who is suffering from a progressively debilitating disease, her cousin and carer, Lisa, and Helen Rollander, a spoiled student who takes up private lessons with the professor.

Not a murder mystery or a whodunnit but a profound and thoughtful piece that deals with the human experience. Delving deeply into the psychology of relationships and moral philosophy, this is the story of a misguided idealist who loves so intensely it becomes ultimately destructive and unattainable.

VERDICT is presented by special arrangement with SAMUEL FRENCH, INC.

This show is performed in Desert Stage’s intimate Actors Café.
