And Then There Were None Coming To The HFCS Stage

November 21, 2012 By eastwickpress

The Hoosick Falls Central School Drama Club is hard at work putting on the finishing touches of Agatha Christie’s famous murder mystery And Then There Were None. As in the past, admission remains free to the public.
The story is simple: Ten people, each with something to hide and something to fear, are invited to a lonely mansion on Soldier Island by a host who, surprisingly, fails to appear, and one by one, they start to die…
This is perhaps Agatha Christie’s most famous work.  Not only is it one of her bestselling novels, but it the most adapted work she has, having been written for the stage and filmed five times. She wrote the stage play herself after the success of the novel and was involved in the original screenplay. To keep audiences on their toes, she modified the endings of each!
The performances will each open with two short comedies.  The first, “In The Jar,” is a fun, quirky and poignant show about bugs being trapped in a jar. The second, “A Case of Anxiety,” is a hysterical look into a reality where the worst case scenario always happens. The main character, who lives a dull and boring life in constant fear, is forced by his wife to step out of his comfort zone and live a little. Both shows are written by Mark Harvey Levine, who also scripted a previously performed HFCS show “Cabfare for the Common Man.”
The production will have three performances – Friday, November 30, and Saturday, December 1, at 7 pm; and Sunday, December 2, at 2 pm.
There will be an intermission during each performance, and refreshments will be available in the cafeteria for purchase.
