Agatha Christie’s THE HOLLOW to tour the UK in 2026

Following sell-out tours of And Then There Were None, Murder on the Orient Express and Death on the Nile, director Lucy Bailey (director of the West End hit Witness for the Prosecution) brings one of Agatha Christie’s most psychologically charged mysteries to the stage this autumn.

Agatha Christie’s masterpiece THE HOLLOW is coming to UK theatres in a new version by Tamsin Oglesby (National Theatre, Old Vic Theatre, RSC).

The production will embark on a major UK and Ireland tour, opening at the Marlowe Theatre, Canterbury on Friday 9 October 2026 before touring nationwide into 2027.

Casting will be announced at a later date.

THE STORY

Renowned detective Hercule Poirot never expected a quiet break in the country; instead he’s drawn into one of the most unsettling cases of his career.

At The Hollow, an elegant country estate, a glamorous circle of guests gathers together one summer evening. But beneath the sunlit charm, something darker coils. Old passions refuse to die. New rivalries ignite. Dangerous infatuations take hold.

Then — a shot rings out.

A body is discovered. A smoking revolver in an unsteady hand. The scene appears almost staged; a shockingly straightforward crime….

It is anything but.
