Contributed story
TORRINGTON — The Warner Stage Company will open their 2018-19 season with one of Agatha Christie’s most ingenious murder mysteries “The Unexpected Guest.” Performances will be held in the Nancy Marine Studio Theatre Sept. 23 to 30.
Lost in the fog, a stranger seeks refuge in a nearby house only to find a man shot dead and his wife standing over him with a smoking gun. But the woman’s dazed confession is anything but convincing and the unexpected guest decides to help.
Remarkably, the police clues point to a man who died two years previously, but as the ghosts of a past wrong begin to emerge, a tangled web of lies reveals family secrets and chilling motives, where the real murderer turns out to be the greatest mystery of all.
The Warner Stage Company production of Agatha Christie’s “The Unexpected Guest” is directed by Keith Paul with stage manager Taryn Glasser. The cast features Nicholas Bourne, Paolo Celentano, Darrell Cookman, Beverly Delventhal-Sali, Jonathan Jacobson, Kristen Moresi, Peggy Terhune, Maximillian Tieman, Payton Turpin and Robert Wiener.
Performances are Sept. 22, 28 and 29 at 8 p.m. and Sept. 23 and 30 at 2 p.m. “The Unexpected Guest” is presented by special arrangement with Samuel French Inc.
