Murderer or Victim? And Then There Were None!

10 People.

A California Island Vacation.

And Then There Were None.

Considered one of the best murder mysteries ever written, And Then There Were None is based on Agatha Christie’s best-selling novel.  Ten strangers, apparently with little in common, are lured to an island mansion by a mysterious couple.  As they gather for dinner, a record begins to play, and the voice of an unseen host accuses each person of hiding a guilty secret. That evening, one of the guests is found murdered by a deadly dose of cyanide.  The tension escalates as the survivors realize the killer is not only among them but is preparing to strike again… and again… and again! 

Warning:  Three loud gun shots are heard during this production.

What a Review! “Bobby Gould in Hell” Receives High Praise

“The four actors tackle Mamet’s tough and multilayered script with gleeful abandon. (I almost said they acted the hell out of it, but that would have been truly unforgivable.)…You may emerge not fully understanding Mamet’s views on hell, but you’ll have had both a thought-provoking and a wildly exciting ride.”   Gina Dalfonzo, DC Metro Theater Arts Critic.

Casting Announcement: “Bobby Gould in Hell”

On behalf of Providence Players of Fairfax, Director Maria Watson is pleased to announce the cast of our next Providence Pop-Up production: Bobby Gould in Hell, which runs September 5-14.

Bobby Gould in Hell, by David Mamet

By David Mamet
Directed by Maria Watson

This is Bobby Gould’s day of reckoning. In Mamet’s dark comedy, the conniving movie mogul from Speed the Plow awakens in a strange room – the waiting room of Hell. A loquacious interrogator in fishing waders enters. The interrogator castigates Bobby for a litany of past sins, but Bobby argues that he’s not such a “bad guy.” His earthbound girlfriend appears and gets carried away in her anger at Bobby’s behavior.  In the end, Bobby is given a chance to save his soul, but what will he do with the opportunity?

This play contains strong language and adult content.
