Synopsis

Kay Ridgeway has led a charmed life.

Blessed with beauty, enormous wealth and a new husband, she embarks on a honeymoon voyage down the Nile.

Fatal circumstances await when the idyllic surroundings are shattered by a shocking and brutal murder.

Under scrutiny is a multitude of memorable passengers, all with a reason to kill.

The tension and claustrophobia builds, as a shocking and audacious conspiracy is laid bare.

"As slick a vehicle as any theatre company could wish for."
