Winter is the perfect time for this acting class which explores the world of the actor by using the life and work of a playwright. This time it's Agatha Christie, because, well, what actor wouldn't want to sink their teeth into a murder mystery? With detectives, dead bodies and divas everywhere, what's a poor suspect to do? But is there more to this great writer than meets the eye? Hmm. Sounds like a mystery, which is just the thing for a cold, rainy winter night. Join us as we become acting detectives and look for clues in the writing of Agatha Christie.
