We were quite disappointed, the play was boring and pretentious.

Fabulous, intimate, small theatre. We were in the dress circle but I think if you sat anywhere it would be a success. Great actors , sound, lighting, costumes and set brilliant. Loved the fact that you are asked not to give the plot away! Only one small criticism....only one person working on the bar, which meant queuing down the stairs for approximately 15 mins...my partner wondered where I had got to.

Took my 20 year old to see this play for his birthday, I was a bit worried it would be a bit old style for him but he really enjoyed it. The actors had us glued to every word. I was the only one had half time that guessed the outcome. You will have to see it for the answer. Very enjoyable evening.

Don't be fooled by the now somewhat 'outdated' setting of the play. This is a well-written and well-acted play that is surprisingly good. You realise that there is a reason why this show is still going strong. If you are a theatre fan, this is worth seeing at least once!

Unfortunately, whilst I enjoyed the acting props etc but I couldn’t hear the dialogue very well & therefore I probably missed some of the storyline.

Overall, we enjoyed the entertainment of the performance that we went to see. Set in the 50's, it is of it's time and leaves you guessing until the reveal - the murderer could be anyone!

The performance of the cast was absolutely outstanding! There was real passion and conviction and a lot of proffesionalism. Especially for a 3pm matinee on a tuesday afternoon! Loved everything about it. Meeting the cast after the show was the icing on the top. They were just great and approachable! An unforgetable experience! Highly recommended

We thought it was great. I had seen it back in 1992 but totally forgot the plot. My husband had never seen it and he loved it.

Entertaining and engaging. Outcome easy to predict. Otherwise, well worth the watch. Venue in desperate need of refurbishing, especially the toilet facilities

Have been intrigued by the air of mystery surrounding this show for years. Had a spare day in London after attending BST Festival, and decided to treat ourselves to a viewing. A clever balance of humour and mystery. We spent the interval discussing our deductions...we were wrong! A lovely cosy venue, great show, and so glad we have finally seen it...

Loved it from the first few minute right through to the end. It was amazing. We could not believe an hour had gone by when the curtain came down for the interval, I have been raving to everyone how wonderful it is and I shall defintely go back to see it again. The actors were just brilliant.

Two tickets with a total face value of £190.00 cost £233.98. How can you justify a handling charge of £44.00???!!!!

The play, the theatre, and the theatre personnel were fantastic. When my daughter experienced a coughing episode, the ushers moved our party of four from the lower stalls to a private box so we could be less of a distraction to the surrounding guests, our experience was so much better and my daughter felt more comfortable and really enjoyed the performance on June 15th. Thank you all soooooo much!

Great show and although saw this many years ago did not remember who the murderer was.

I was so busy trying to cope with the continually high pitched, ranting voice of detective sgt Trotter (played by Alan Magor) that when the climax arrived at the end, I could have happily shot him myself. Stand out performances by ‘ Mrs Boyle, Miss Casewell and Major Metcalf. ‘ Main appeal is the great old theatre and the nostalgia of the set. Be aware that access to the theatre toilets is closed until 30 mins before the show, there are no pre-show refreshments and the foyer is very small with no seating. Fortunately there is a coffee franchise directly opposite , where you will be welcomed with open arms.

It was a great show, guessing who dunnit was great. I guessed right! But you'll have to go and see it yourself to find out! The effects of the snow and wind were very good.

Waited 40 years to see this and wasn’t disappointed. Great show set in a typical Agatha Christie setting with actors giving their all to make it a fully entertaining evening. Would definitely recommend, enjoy.
