Agatha Christie’s The Hollow Tickets – UK Tour

Hercule Poirot returns to the stage. Directed by Lucy Bailey, Agatha Christie’s The Hollow embarks on a major UK Tour from October 2026. Book official tickets now for this masterfully unsettling new production.

Hercule Poirot’s quiet break in the country is disturbed. Opening at the Marlowe Theatre, Canterbury, on 9 October 2026 before touring nationwide, this major new production brings Hercule Poirot to the stage in one of his most psychologically charged cases yet.

Following the sell-out success of Witness for the Prosecution and And Then There Were None, director Lucy Bailey partners with producers Fiery Angel once again. Adapted by Tamsin Oglesby, The Hollow is an atmospheric mystery set at an elegant country estate where old passions simmer and dangerous infatuations lead to a shocking act of violence.

At a Glance: The Mystery

The Case: A glamorous weekend at a country estate turns deadly when a body is found by the swimming pool, a smoking revolver nearby.
The Twist: The scene appears perfectly staged—but is it a straightforward crime, or a deadly game of family secrets?
The Detective: Legendary sleuth Hercule Poirot must peel back the layers of sibling rivalry and forbidden desire to find the truth.

What is The Hollow about?

Set at an English country estate, The Hollow follows a circle of brilliantly drawn characters caught between nostalgia and an unsettling future. When a sudden act of violence shatters the illusion of civility, Hercule Poirot must unravel a web of long-buried family tensions, sibling rivalries, and romantic obsessions. It is a portrait of a family clinging to a fading world, where the truth is hidden behind a mask of social grace.
