​

An Agatha Christie theatre mystery, revolving around Christie herself! From Heidi Armbruster, Mrs. Christie takes a look at Agatha’s mysterious eleven-day disappearance in 1926, and 100 years later, a devoted superfan, Lucy, who may be the one to finally crack the case. In parallel stories that weave the past with the present, both Lucy and Agatha go on journeys of self-discovery, all with an added thrill of a good old-fashioned mystery. “Mrs. Christie is a captivating, thought-provoking, humorous, dark, and tear-inducing experience.” (Los Altos Town Crier)

Making its regional debut at Kansas City Actors Theatre in 2026, this play is a unique comedy-drama that not only takes a look at the prolific woman behind the mysteries, but modern fan culture, true crime obsession, and the human need to find oneself. “For budding detectives and soul searchers… whet your inner Hercule Poirot.” (San Francisco Chronicle)
