A classic Agatha Christie whodunit is up for Texarkana Repertory Co. Starting Friday, TexRep’s merry players perform the famed British author’s classic comedic mystery “And Then There Were None.” In the play, 10 folks from all sorts of backgrounds come to an island mansion, only to gather together and then die one by one. The purpose of their visit, and the person who has gathered them there, remain a mystery. There’s no way to contact anyone once there and they can’t leave. “As the show goes on they keep dying one-by-one, and there’s a poem over the mantel on the fireplace that begins with 10 little soldier statues,” director Michael Cooper told me recently. “As a person dies the statue disappears.” Eventually, they realize one of them must be the murderer. This TexRep play, the third in their season, is a collaboration with the Texarkana College Department of Drama.
Tickets are $10 for adults, $8 for students and seniors. Shows are at 8 p.m. on Nov. 6, 7, 13, and 14, and at 2 p.m. on Nov. 8 and 15. More info and reservations: 903-831-7827. You can also check out TexRep’s Website: www.texrep.org.
