RICHMOND SHAKESPEARE SOCIETY PRESENTS
AGATHA CHRISTIE: THE MOST SUCCESSFUL FEMALE PLAYWRIGHT OF ALL TIME
Talk by Dr Julius Green
Agatha Christie is revered around the world for her books and the characters she created. Less well-known is her writing for the stage – an extraordinary repertoire of plays that firmly established her as the most successful female dramatist of all time.
Drawing on his authoritative book, Agatha Christie; A Life in Theatre, Dr Julius Green raises the curtain on Agatha Christie's towering contribution to popular theatre.
Julius is an Olivier award-winning theatre producer and a Fellow of the Birkbeck Centre for Contemporary Theatre, University of London. The leading authority on Agatha Christie's work as a dramatist, he produced the 2001 Agatha Christie Theatre Festival (a 12-week season of Christie's complete stage works as then known), and in 2006 founded the Agatha Christie Theatre Company for Bill Kenwright Ltd. In 2012 he was invited to write the introduction to HarperCollins' 60th anniversary edition of The Mousetrap and Other Plays.
