Death on the Nile Delights Audiences Across UK

“Christie’s writing remains timeless, and Ken Ludwig’s adaptation beautifully translates this for the stage, making necessary changes while never losing the essence of the story and the original distinct writing. No stranger to Agatha Christie adaptations, Ludwig has mastered the art of tension and suspense while keeping a relatively lighthearted nature, even when there is a corpse on the stage. It’s a winning formula that ensures Death On The Nile is a thrilling ride from start to finish. A testament to the skill of this adaptation is that it makes no difference how familiar you are with the story - whether you know whodunnit or if this is your first time experiencing this particular tale, it is the journey to get there that makes this play so riveting.”

“There have been many adaptations of this work by Christie with varying degrees, however, Ken Ludwig’s adaptation, like his previous Murder on the Orient Express, succeeds in conveying the opulence of the time, the suspense of the murder and investigation and above all is a truly highly enjoyable evening of theatre. Ms Christie’s works have never been in safer hands.”

“Pacy, witty and sophisticated, Agatha Christie’s Death on the Nile is as fresh as when it was first written.”

—The Chiswick Calendar

“Sometimes it’s easy to wonder why people bother going to the theatre, when so many of the productions are reworkings of old television series and films. Why not just stay at home and stream the original? And then a show comes along like Death on the Nile…and you remember that there really is nothing like live theatre.”

—Time & Leisure

“Ken Ludwig’s adaptation of Death on the Nile and this production directed by Lucy Bailey, manages to celebrate that storytelling, holding firmly to the original, while overlaying it with a gentle and knowing humour.”
