Spider's Web by Agatha Christie

Bookings are NOW OPEN for Dolphin Theatre's revival season of Agatha Christie's Spider's Web - the only live theatre currently on offer in Auckland! This is following the original season being cut short by a week in August due to the lockdown.

A conscious parody of the detective thriller, Christie delivers a unique blend of suspense and humour. There is tension and laughter in equal parts in an intricate plot of murder, police, drug addicts, invisible ink, hidden doorways and secret drawers.

Synopsis:
When a murder occurs in Clarissa’s drawing-room she suspects her young stepdaughter Pippa. Things are not helped by the imminent arrival of husband Henry with a VIP in tow who might take a dim view of bodies in the drawing-room. However, by the time Henry gets home, the murderer has been unmasked and all is normal, so normal that Henry is utterly unable to believe Clarissa when she explains exactly why there are no refreshments ready for their honoured guest.

A Community Theatre production of ‘Spiders Web’ by special arrangement with Samuel French Ltd and New Zealand Play Bureau Ltd.
