Hosted by Amanda Ross
Joined by Ben Miller, Lucy Foley, James Prichard & Nigel HaversBetween The Covers Live! is on the road to celebrate Agatha Christie, the bestselling novelist of all time, with a line-up guaranteed to deliver a thrilling dive into the world of crime thrillers.
The undisputed “Queen of Crime” has sold more than 2 billion books in over 100 languages. This year marks the 50th anniversary of her death, so there’s no better time to celebrate her enduring popularity.
If you’re partial to Poirot or marvel at Marple or even if you’ve never escaped into Christie’s world, our on-stage ensemble will enlighten you as to why her books really deserve to be evergreen.
Host Amanda Ross gets between the covers of Christie with author, actor and director, Ben Miller, actor Nigel Havers, the Great-Grandson of Christie and CEO of Agatha Christie Limited, James Prichard, and bestselling author Lucy Foley, who’s been trusted by Agatha Christie Limited to write a brand new Marple novel Murder at the Grand Alpine Hotel, 50 years after Christie’s last Marple adventure was published.
They’ll talk about their own books, Christie’s influence and share their favourite Christie novels.
Plus, signing sessions with the stars will give audiences the perfect excuse to treat themselves to a Christie for Christmas!
