Love From A Stranger

The brilliant, popular thrillers of the late, great Agatha Christie are frequent visitors to the King’s Theatre; but it’s rare for a Christie show to win such lavish critical praise and attention as this new production of Love From A Stranger, first seen in London in 1936, in which a young woman rapidly discovers that her whirlwind romance and new marriage are not what they seem. Lucy Bailey directs, and Helen Bradbury and Sam Frenchum play the apparently happy couple, in this acclaimed new staging of one of Christie’s most intense and subversive stories, adapted for the stage by Frank Vosper. King’s Theatre, Edinburgh, 5-9 June, 0131-529 6000 and Theatre Royal, Glasgow, 26-30 June, 0141-332 9000
