Towards Zero (Outdoor)
by Agatha Christie
Synopsis
When a house party gathers on the terrace of Gull’s Point, the seaside home of Lady Tressilian, Neville Strange finds himself caught between his old wife, Audrey, and his new flame, Kay.
A nail-biting thriller, the play probes the psychology of jealousy in the shadow of a savage and brutal murder.
With reflections on suicide, depression and redemption, the play is a layered drama of piercing intelligence.
A stage version of this story set inside the clifftop house is also available here .
