Agatha Christie's Go Back for Murder

Playing in the Long Beach Playhouse’s Mainstage Theater

By Agatha Christie
Directed by Floyd Harden

The Queen of Mystery does it again in this ingenious detective story about a devastating event in a family’s past. Carla Crale believes her mother was wrongly convicted of her father’s murder. In an attempt to clear her mother’s name, she persuades those present on the day of her father’s death to return to the scene of the crime and ‘go back’ 16 years to recount their version of events. The play thrillingly slips from past to present, as Carla takes on the role of her mother to see how others’ stories of what happened are warped by time, prejudice, and perception. Can Carla find the real murderer, or will the truth always be clouded by mystery?
