Win a pair of tickets to Agatha Christie’s The Hollow

Agatha Christie’s The Hollow will be coming to the Theatre Royal Nottingham on Tuesday 26 to Saturday 30 January 2027 at 7.30pm, as part of its UK and Ireland tour.

Peter Polycarpou stars as renowned detective Hercule Poirot in this gripping new production, directed by Lucy Bailey, whose previous credits include the West End hit Witness for the Prosecution.

Set at The Hollow, an elegant country estate, the play sees a glamorous group of guests gather for a summer evening. But beneath the charm, old passions, rivalries and dangerous infatuations are simmering.

When a shot rings out and a body is discovered, a smoking revolver is found in an unsteady hand. The crime appears almost too straightforward, but appearances can be deceptive, and Poirot soon finds himself drawn into one of the most unsettling cases of his career.

The production features a talented cast including Luke Allen-Gale, Victoria Blunt, James Clyde, Grace Darling, Kemi-Bo Jacobs, Sarah Moyle, Michael Praed, James Sheldon and Tilly Steele.

Following sell-out tours of And Then There Were None, Murder on the Orient Express and Death on the Nile, producers Fiery Angel and director Lucy Bailey reunite for this psychologically charged mystery.

For more info, visit www.trch.co.uk or call the box office on 0115 989 5555.

The closing date for Agatha Christie’s The Hollow Competition is Friday 27th November.
