Step aboard a luxurious river steamer gliding down the majestic Nile, where the scorching Egyptian sun casts long shadows—and even longer secrets. What begins as an opulent honeymoon cruise for a glamorous young couple quickly descends into chaos when a shocking murder shatters the serenity on deck. As passions run high and jealousies erupt, the legendary Belgian detective, Hercule Poirot, must unravel a tangled web of deceit, betrayal, and hidden motives before the killer strikes again.
This gripping whodunit, based on Agatha Christie’s iconic 1937 novel, comes to life in a thrilling new adaptation that promises edge-of-your-seat suspense and unforgettable drama.
Following the smash-hit UK tours of And Then There Were None and Murder on the Orient Express, Death on the Nile sees acclaimed director Lucy Bailey (Witness for the Prosecution) reunite with celebrated playwright Ken Ludwig and renowned producers Fiery Angel for the European premiere of this lavish theatrical spectacle.
Whether you’re a lifelong Agatha Christie fan or discovering her work for the first time, don’t miss the chance to witness this masterfully staged mystery at the Alexandra Theatre, bringing a slice of 1930s glamour and intrigue right to the heart of Birmingham.
