HEARTBEAT’s Jason Durr takes on the coveted role of Poirot in Black Coffee, the only play to feature the world famous detective, at Woking’s New Victoria Theatre this month.

See the production from August 19 – 23.

Intrigue and suspense form the backbone of this classic spy-thriller which follows The Agatha Christie Theatre Company’s hugely successful The Hollow, The Unexpected Guest, And Then There Were None, Spider’s Web, Witness for the Prosecution, Verdict, Murder on the Nile and Go Back For Murder.

A quintessential English country estate is thrown into chaos following the murder of eccentric inventor Sir Claud Amory, and the theft of his new formula.

Arriving at the estate just moments too late, one man immediately senses a potent brew of despair, treachery, and deception amid the estate's occupants.

That man is Hercule Poirot.

Having recently appeared on UK stages in the title role of Sherlock Holmes: The Best Kept Secret, Jason Durr is also a household name thanks to his starring roles in hit television series such as Lewis, Midsomer Murders, Miss Marple: The Blue Geranium and, of course, Heartbeat, where he consolidated his heartthrob status when he played the role of PC Mike Bradley for six years.

Black Coffee features a heavyweight cast including Agatha Christie company regulars Liza Goddard (Bergerac, Give Us A Clue), Gary Mavers (Andrew Attwood in Peak Practice) and Ben Nealon (Capt. Forsythe in Soldier Soldier).

Tickets: £16.90 - £32.40 plus a £2.85 transaction fee
