The world’s bestselling murder mystery of all time gets new life on stage in Amelia Island. Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None tells the macabre and mystifying tale of 10 people summoned to a remote island, where they begin being killed, one by one, in accordance with the words of a chilling nursery rhyme. As with all Christie crime novels, everyone is a suspect, but unlike the others, everyone also ends up dead — making finding the true culprit a sleuthing master class. Amelia Community Theatre presents its take on the classic from Aug. 14-29. We talk to the director and three principal actors about why the story remains vibrant nearly a century after it was published.

Guests:

Jayme Tipton Taylor, director of And Then There Were None at Amelia Community Theatre
Melissa Coon, actor playing Vera Claythorne
Anthony Pierce, actor playing William Henry Blore
Carlos Semidei, actor playing Dr. Edward Armstrong
