Fun and informal: You can sit and listen or participate as much as you want

We will read the collection of radio plays: “Murder in the Studio,” led by Dawn Queen-Huston. More information about the play and table reads below.

About the Work

Murder in the Studio comprises of the following three radio plays:

Personal Call sees James Brent haunted by his dead wife when he receives a mysterious telephone call, seemingly from beyond the grave.
Yellow Iris marked Hercule Poirot's debut appearance on radio in which the famous detective is called to the hotel Jardin des Cygnes to solve an old case in which a cold-blooded killer escaped justice and slipped through his fingers.
Butter in a Lordly Dish sees eminent prosecution barrister Sir Luke Enderby get his comeuppance in one of Christie's most gruesome and horrifying murders.

History of the Plays

Agatha Christie's radio plays have been successfully performed on stage in various different combinations and production styles in the United Kingdom, Australia, USA and China.

About Table Reads

The Play Selection Advisory Committee of Athens Community Theatre hosts several opportunities to read plays and musicals for fun each season. Participation in a table read is a great way to “dip a toe in” to see what working with ACT is like. The play is read casually: you can let us know if you want to participate or just listen in. And you can change your mind at any time.
