WHODUNNIT????


Murder!
Murder most foul!
Murder has come to Soldier Island!

WACT Presents
Agatha Christie's
And Then There Were None!

Who could the killer be?



Could it be Davis, the mysterious adventurer from South Africa?  OR IS HE?  Is Davis something different than who he seems to be?  Anything is possible here on Soldier Island. 



Could it be the stern spinster, Miss Emily Brent? She is ruthless in her convictions, spraying bible quotes like weapons, and has no remorse for any past misdeeds.



How about Dr. Edna Armstrong?  Once a highly successful surgeon, an accomplished female in a distinctly male profession (this is the late 1930s), she now specializes in soothing patient's jangled nerves.  BUT who eases her nervousness, OR IS SHE JUST LOOKING FOR REVENGE?



Or what of Fred Narracott, the local whose boat brings them to the island and the supplies that they need.  Once delivered, he leaves the island.  OR DOES HE?  Does he instead stay on the island, lurking in the shadows, murdering the guests, ONE BY ONE?



And what of recently retired judge, Lawrence Wargrave?  He leads the investigation of the terrible murders with intelligence and drive, even as his frail body betrays him.  Could he secretly be the monster behind the killing madness?




Or what of the charming playboy, Anthony Marston?  Why not?The dashing auto speedster has a complete lack of guilt for the two children he ran down.  What's a few more corpses accumulated on the way?



And what of the debonair, incredibly handsome (sometimes it's good to be the blog writer) General John MacKenzie.  Could this older gentleman be harboring dark secrets from his military past?  And why does he keep thinking his wife, Lesley, is on the island  EVEN THOUGH SHE HAS BEEN DEAD FOR OVER TWENTY YEARS???




Could it be the self-centered playboy mercenary, Phillip Lombard?  The only one on the island WHO HAS A GUN???





Could it be the cook, Mrs.  Ethel Rogers?  Maybe she knows about delicious dishes, LACED WITH POISON!!!



Could it be Mr. Thomas Rogers, the butler and spouse of Ethel?  Who knows what goes on in Mister Roger's NEIGHBORHOOD?????




Last but certainly not least, there is the beautiful ingenue, Vera Claythorne, the secretary of the mysterious couple that supposedly arranged for all to come to the island?  What would stop this seemingly sweet woman, who may have murdered an innocent child in order to benefit her lover, from KILLING AGAIN?  AND AGAIN?  AND AGAIN?




Don't be left in the dark!  Come see this puzzling whodunnit, playing this weekend and next, at the Ritz in downtown Waycross!!!
