Mystery / 8m, 3f / Int. In this superlative mystery comedy statuettes of little soldier boys on the mantel of a house on an island off the coast of Devon fall to the floor and break one by one as those in the house succumb to a diabolical avenger. A nursery rhyme tells how each of the ten "soldiers" met his death until there were none. Eight guests who have never met each other or their apparently absent host and hostess are lured to the island and, along with the two house servants, marooned. A mysterious voice accuses each of having gotten away with murder and then one drops dead---poisoned. One down and nine to go The excitement never lets up in this ideal play for schools, colleges and little theatres. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

When the guests have gathered in the parlor they learn the host and hostess have been delayed AND THEN the gramophone breaks in accusing each member of the party, of the crime of a specific murder. Now, as the minutes and hours pass bodies begin to appear all following the nursery rhyme of "Ten Little Indians".
I read the play of And Then There Were None from the collection The Mousetrap and other plays. Thank goodness the play was only 70 pages long. For me the stage directions were just too distracting, they interrupted the flow of the narrative and the pacing of the mystery. I am simply too much of a reader, enjoying the movement of my own imagination to the laid out directions in a play or script. ( )
