Murder on the Links
As Agatha Christie's crime novels shift into public domain, we can expect a lot more stage adaptations of her mysteries than the ones she authorized or wrote herself. Here, Brenda Bell tees up 1923's The Murder on the Links, a whodunnit set on a French golf course and featuring the fussy Belgian detective Hercule Poirot. Although the book is subpar by Christie standards, perhaps this swing at it will make it work. Shino Frances directs a cast of 12 for Bell's Be Bold! Productions.
