The good news is that the North Coast Rep has wisely brought in American playwright Steven Dietz to adapt the 100-year old work into a play that affectionally satirizes the Christie style with wit and charm.

The eccentric Poirot became one of the most popular detectives in modern fiction, and some of his Poirot stories indeed were of high quality.

The latest production at North Coast Rep is a stage adaption of Dame Agatha Christie’s 1923 detective novel Murder on the Links.
