About the Play

It’s the 1940s. Kay Mostyn leads a charmed life. Blessed with beauty, enormous wealth, and a new husband, she embarks on a honeymoon voyage down the Nile on the paddle steamer Lotus. Fatal circumstances await when the idyllic surroundings are shattered by a shocking and brutal murder. Under scrutiny is a multitude of memorable passengers, all with a reason to kill.

In true Agatha Christie style, the tension and claustrophobia builds, as a shocking conspiracy is laid bare.
