The Freeport Players will perform murder mystery legend Agatha Christie’s first play, “Black Coffee,” featuring Hercule Poirot, onstage at Freeport Performing Arts Center from Sept. 17-19 and again Sept. 24-26.
In the play, Sir Claud Amory has invented a dangerous weapon, and the formula is missing. Then a murder occurs. The family members, guests and staff gathered at the manor house all have motive and opportunity for theft and murder. Who did it?
The incomparable Belgian detective, Hercule Poirot, and his friend, Captain Hastings, arrive, and Poirot’s “little grey cells” are put to the test. While Poirot gallantly gives credit to Inspector Japp of Scotland Yard, he cleverly solves the mystery. With dashes of comedy and romance, Christie’s play creates a superb theater experience. Just the thing for a return to the stage after a long absence.
Shows are Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m., and Sunday at 2 p.m.. For tickets to this fascinating whodunit, visit fcponline.org.
