Agatha Christie's The Mirror Crack'd to have European stage premiere in new adaptation

Agatha Christie's The Mirror Crack'd, a Miss Marple mystery, will make its European stage premiere early next year.

Adapted by Rachel Wagstaff (Flowers for Mrs Harris) with direction by Melly Still (Coram Boy), the piece follows Miss Marple who, feeling increasingly out of touch, sets out to solve the case of a mysterious death.

The production will open at Salisbury Playhouse on 15 February before touring to Dublin, Cambridge and Cardiff, with casting to be announced. It is produced by the Millenium Centre and Wiltshire Creative.

Graeme Farrow, artistic director of Wales Millennium Centre said: "We are hugely excited to bring a dynamic, thoroughly modern Marple to the stage and to work again with Rachel Wagstaff and Melly Still. This is also our first collaboration with Wiltshire Creative. Co-producing across nations and regions is extremely important in order to create new work today."

The production will have set design by Richard Kent, costume design by Dinah Collin, lighting design by Malcolm Rippeth with music and sound design by Jon Nicholls.

Two Christie productions are currently running in London with The Mousetrap continuing its record-setting run at St Martin's Theatre, while the Olivier Award-nominated Witness for the Prosecution continues at London's County Hall. Christie's Love from a Stranger is also currently on a UK tour.
