So Agnatha Christie is known as the Queen of Crime and Verdict comes to The Gaiety Theatre in Dublin from October 17 – 22nd.
Interestingly, Written and first performed in 1958, Verdict is one of Christies few original plays which is not based on a novel or short story. It premiered in the West End in May 1958, and ran for 250 performances, before later going on to open in New York and Luxembourg.
I have two tickets to give away for the opening night on October 17th. To be in with a chance of winning, all you have to do is tell me if you were a bad guy in a story, what would your name be? And sure while you’re at it, you can like my Facebook page too! The competition will run until Tuesday 4th October at 1700.
Good luck!
What’s the story about?
‘Having been forced to flee persecution in his home country, the brilliant and idealistic Professor Karl Hendryk leads a content and morally upstanding life, but his world is turned upside-down when the prospect of life-saving treatment for his invalid wife persuades him to take on a new pupil against his better judgement; the spoilt, conniving minx Helen who will stop at nothing to get her way. With murderous intentions afoot, it only remains to be seen what verdict will be delivered, and if justice will prevail..’
