The production is presented by Fiery Angel, the team behind sell-out tours of And Then There Were None and Murder on the Orient Express. It reunites writer Ken Ludwig, director Lucy Bailey (Witness for the Prosecution) and producers Fiery Angel for the European premiere of this new stage adaptation.

Set on a luxurious Nile cruise under the Egyptian sun, the play follows a couple’s idyllic honeymoon that is brutally cut short by murder. With long-buried secrets resurfacing, Hercule Poirot must unravel the web of lies to solve the crime.

Agatha Christie’s Death on the Nile runs at the Princess Theatre, Torquay from Tuesday 18 November to Saturday 22 November 2025.
