Go Back for Murder

Agatha Christie adapted this suspenseful stage play from her novel Five Little Pigs. After receiving a letter from beyond the grave, Carla Crale believes her mother, who died in prison, was wrongly convicted of her father’s murder. In a passionate attempt to clear her name, she persuades those present on the day of her father’s death to return to the scene of the crime and ‘go back’ 16 years to recount their version of events. 

An unusual take on the traditional murder mystery, the play slips seamlessly from past to present, examining the danger of relying on personal testimony warped by time, prejudice and perception. By studying each suspect’s testimony, and the various inconsistencies among them, the drama arrives at a disturbing and terrible truth!
