Murder on the Nile
8:00 PM on Sunday Jun. 20th, 2010
Ottawa Little Theatre, 400 King Edward Ave.

The play is based on Agatha Christie's 1937 novel Death on the Nile which in itself started off as a play which Christie called Moon on the Nile. Once written, she decided it would do better as a book and she only resurrected the play version in 1942 when she was in the middle of writing the theatrical version of And Then There Were None.

The play, with the name Murder on the Nile finally opened in the West End on March 19, 1946 at the Ambassadors Theatre, where six years later The Mousetrap would open.
