Carriage House Arts Center presents Agatha Christie's "Black Coffee"
Of all of the murder mysteries Agatha Christie has created, “Black Coffee” was her first piece written for the stage and it is also the only stage play she wrote that features one of her most famous creations: Belgian detective Hercule Poirot - and it has all of the classic Christie touches. Directed by Stamford resident Joel Fenster, Agatha Christie’s “Black Coffee” will be presented at the Carriage House Arts Center in Norwalk on Fridays and Saturdays July 16th, 17th, 23rd & 24th at 8 PM (Tickets: $20) and Sunday July 18th at 4PM and Thursday, July 22nd at 8PM (Tickets: $15).
