The national tour of And Then There Were None, based on the best-selling crime novel of all time, will now open at The Gaiety Theatre in Dublin on 19 September for a sold-out week of performances, and will subsequently visit twenty-two additional UK venues until April 2024.

It will not run as planned at the Royal & Derngate, Northampton, following the unfortunate news of their temporary closure due to the discovery of reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete in their foyers.

The producers said: “We were very sorry to learn that the tour will be prevented from opening at the Royal & Derngate Theatre this week, as planned, due to the recent discovery of Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC) in the theatre foyer. We would like to express our support and thanks to the staff and customers of Royal & Derngate at this difficult time.

“We would also like to reassure our customers, our venue partners and the industry in general that ‘the show will go on’ and thanks to the sterling efforts of the staff at Royal & Derngate, The Gaiety Theatre, and our wonderful company of technicians and actors we will be able to complete the technical and dress rehearsals with time to spare prior to our new opening dates in Dublin”.

The full cast for the production are Bob Barrett as Doctor Armstrong, Joseph Beattie as Philip Lombard, Oliver Clayton as Anthony Marston, Jeffery Kissoon as General Mackenzie, Andrew Lancel as William Blore, Nicola May-Taylor as Jane Pinchbeck, Louise McNulty (Understudy), Katy Stephens as Emily Brent, Lucy Tregear as Georgina Rogers, Sophie Walter as Vera Claythorne, Matt Weyland as Narracott/Understudy, and David Yelland as Judge Wargrave.

The production is directed by Lucy Bailey, with set and costume design by Mike Britton, lighting by Chris Davey, sound and composition by Elizabeth Purnell, movement direction by Ayse Tashkiran, and casting by Ellie Collyer-Bristow CDG.
