The Unexpected Guest

by

Agatha Christie

Directed by: Ryan Ellershaw

15, 17-22 May 2010

On a foggy night, Michael Starkwedder enters the home of the Warwicks illegally. He finds the dead body of Richard Warwick, and finds Warwick's wife, Laura, holding a gun that supposedly killed him. Despite the murder being obvious, and overwhelming evidence pointing towards it, Starkwedder does not believe she killed him, and she soon tells him she's innocent.

The two decide to place the blame on an enemy from the past, MacGregor, a man whose son was run over by Richard while he was drunk. As the story progresses, the two fake the fact that they were just finding out about the murder, and others in the house are introduced...
