I love a good mystery. It is my favorite genre. Beavercreek Community Theatre's production of AND THEN THERE WERE NONE, Agatha Christie's most successful novel as adapted for the stage, did not disappoint me.
The story begins with ten people from different backgrounds all gathered together after receiving varied invitations from a mysterious host. The many twists and turns of the story are brought to life by director Aaron Brewer and his strong ensemble led by the real-life husband and wife team of Kristin Curby and Levi Curby as Vera Claythorne and Philip Lombard.
The set by Chris Harmon whisks us away to a beautiful island manor and along with the period perfect costumes by Olivia Dakin sets the stage perfectly for all of the action and intrigue to come.
