Detective Hercule Poirot confronts PERIL IN THE ALPS a World Premiere comic mystery at North Coast Repertory Theatre. Written and directed by Steven Dietz. Based on “Poirot Investigates” by Agatha Christie, April 16 – May 11, 2025.

The twin sister of Captain Hastings wife, Dulcie, has been kidnapped – and Hercule Poirot rightly expects not only extortion to follow, but murder! Using elements of Agatha Christie's “Poirot Investigates,” Steven Dietz creates a sequel to his wildly popular Murder on the Links, taking us on a thrilling and dangerous trip to the snow-capped Alps, where the famed Belgian detective may finally meet his match. Six actors bring to life dozens of eccentric characters and clever suspects in this diabolically funny comic mystery. If you're yearning for a good laugh, don't miss it!
