Twisty Mystery Agatha Christie’s The Unexpected Guest Appears at the Alley Theatre July 10 through August 3
In dense fog near the South Welsh coastline, a stranger runs his car into a ditch and arrives at a nearby house. Inside, he finds the murdered body of a former big-game hunter. The dead man’s wife is near the body with a gun in her hand. Is she guilty or is she protecting someone? Appearances are sure to deceive in this twisty mystery. Guardian review of the 1958 premiere said "At the end [Agatha Christie] heard the kind of applause that has given her Mousetrap a record six-year run."
Agatha Christie’s The Unexpected Guest runs July 10 through August 3 on the Hubbard Stage.

Annie Get Your Gun scored a bullseye when it returned to Broadway with Bernadette Peters and later, Reba McEntire.
As Newsday reported, Stone’s revisions “are sweetly ingenious, and the show is a dream.” Stone reshaped the 1946 book to create Wild West show-within-a show that frames the ageless “Anything You Can Do I Can Do Better” love story of sharpshooters Annie Oakley and Frank Butler. Stone has added a secondary romance between the younger sister of Frank’s bothersome assistant Dolly, and a boy who is (to Dolly’s horror) part Native American.
Annie Get Your Gun “will always be a musical for the ages, one of Broadway theater’s enduring triumphs.”
