Peril in the Alps
Running at Chemainus Theatre Festival September 25th to October 25th
by Steven Dietz
Based in part on Agatha Christie’s Poirot Investigates
Come for a fresh new take on Agatha Christie’s novel transformed into a madcap whodunit thrill ride in the snow-capped Swiss Alps! Can the great Hercule Poirot and his sidekick Captain Hastings must solve a kidnapping case before it gets worse in this frolickingly funny mystery? In the style of the 39 Steps and Baskerville – a sheer delight!
“Peril in the Alps plants its flag firmly in the comic-mystery genre, that delicious corner of theatre where danger and silliness hold hands and dare the audience to keep up. Dietz leans into the classic ingredients Christie perfected tight quarters, unreliable company, peril wrapped in civility then spikes the mix with contemporary velocity and a wink toward theatrical playfulness. The result is a hybrid that feels both vintage and freshly shaken.” – Review from Broadway World
