Ten strangers. One isolated island. A deadly secret.

​​

Eight guests have been invited to Soldier Island off the coast of Devon. Each is accused of a previous crime, the punishment for which turns out to be death by various ways befitting the famous author. Once assembled a booming voice lays out the charges by the mysterious and unknown host. The tension and fear build as each guest meets their maker.

Each murder replicates the poem ‘Ten Little Soldier Boys’, a copy of which is displayed in the lounge. The plot gradually unfolds as characters are killed one by one. Who will be next and who is the mysterious unseen Mr Owen? As each guest dies a toy soldier disappears from the set creating the thread of justice and of course begging the age old question ‘who done it’?
Iconic Christie, as she explores the line that divides those who act unjustly from those who seek to restore justice. Different human responses to both the burden of guilt and class distinctions of this bygone era are laid bare on stage.
