A Chinese stage play adapted from Agatha Christie’s novel “And Then There Were None” (1939) will soon be presented at the Shenzhen Poly Theater.

A group of 10 people gather at the mansion on Soldier Island, just off the coast of Devon. They are invited under a variety of pretenses: for employment, for a detective case, or just for a good time. Before the party truly gets under way, they hear a recording that accuses each guest of murder. Baffled, these strangers realize that they have no idea who their host is, and when the first guest is murdered, they understand that they have been brought to the island by a maniac who intends to dispense his own perverted form of justice.

Regularly produced and adapted for stage and screen, “And Then There Were None” is a mystery thriller that sets a high bar for the whodunit genre. The Chinese play is produced by the Shanghai Mousetrap Drama Studio.
